Two divergent chloroplast genome sequence clades captured in the domesticated rice gene pool may have significance for rice production.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The whole chloroplast genomes of 3018 rice genotypes were assembled from available sequence data by alignment with a reference rice chloroplast genome sequence, providing high quality chloroplast genomes for analysis of diversity on a much larger scale than in any previous plant study. RESULTS:Updated annotation of the chloroplast genome identified 13 more tRNA genes and 30 more introns and defined the function of more of the genes. Domesticated rice had chloroplast genomes that were distinct from those in wild relatives. Analysis confirms an Australian chloroplast clade as a sister to the domesticated clade. All domesticated rice genotypes could be assigned to one of two main clades suggesting the domestication of two distinct maternal genome clades that diverged long before domestication. These clades were very distinct having 4 polymorphisms between all 1486 accession in clade A and all 1532 accessions in clade B. These would result in expression of 3 proteins with altered amino acid sequences and a tRNA with an altered sequence and may be associated with adaptive evolution of the two chloroplast types. Diversity within these pools may have been captured during domestication with subclades enriched in specific groups such as basmati, tropical japonica and temperate japonica. However the phylogenies of the chloroplast and nuclear genomes differed possibly due to modern rice breeding and reticulate evolution prior to domestication. Indica and aus genotypes were common in both chloroplast clades while japonica genotypes were more likely to be found in the same clade (cladeB). CONCLUSIONS:The different evolutionary paths of the cytoplasmic and nuclear genomes of rice have resulted in the presence of apparently functional chloroplast genome diversity and the implications for rice crop performance require further investigation.

Project description:Since the first discovery of reverse transcriptase in bacteria, and later in archaea, bacterial and archaeal retroelements have been defined by their common enzyme that coordinates diverse functions. Yet, evolutionary refinement has produced distinct retroelements across the tree of microbial life that are perhaps best described in terms of their programmed RNA-a compact sequence that preserves core information for a sophisticated mechanism. From this perspective, reverse transcriptase has been selected as the modular tool for carrying out nature's instructions in various RNA templates. Beneficial retroelements-those that can provide a fitness advantage to their host-evolved to their extant forms in a wide array of microorganisms and their viruses, spanning nearly all habitats. Within each specialized retroelement class, several universal features seem to be shared across diverse taxa, while specific functional and mechanistic insights are based on only a few model retroelement systems from clinical isolates. Currently, little is known about the diversity of cellular functions and ecological significance of retroelements across different biomes. With increasing availability of isolate, metagenome-assembled, and single-amplified genomes, the taxonomic and functional breadth of prokaryotic retroelements is coming into clearer view. This review explores the recently characterized classes of beneficial, yet accessory retroelements of bacteria and archaea. We describe how these specialized mechanisms exploit a form of fixed mobility, whereby the retroelements do not appear to proliferate selfishly throughout the genome. Moreover, we discuss computational approaches for systematic identification of retroelements from vast sequence repositories and highlight recent discoveries in terms of their apparent distribution and ecological significance in nature. Lastly, we present a new perspective on the eco-evolutionary significance of these genetic elements in marine bacteria and demonstrate approaches that enable the characterization of their environmental diversity through metagenomics.
