The complete chloroplast genome of Hydrangea davidii (Hydrangeaceae).

ABSTRACT: Hydrangea davidii, a perennial shrub of Hydrangeaceae, is an ornamental plant endemic to China. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome of H. davidii. The complete chloroplast genome is totally 158,054 bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure. It consists a pair of inverted regions (IRs) of 26,140 bp, which were separated by a large single copy (LSC) region of 87,008 bp and a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,766 bp, respectively. The chloroplast genome encoded 131 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes and 38 tRNA genes. The GC content in the whole cp genome, LSC region, SSC region, and IR region are 37.8%, 36.0%, 31.7%, and 43.1%, respectively. In total, 49 SSRs were identified in the complete chloroplast genome. Phylogenetic analysis showed that H. davidii is closely related to Hydrangea platyarguta with a support rate of 100%.

Project description:In this study, the chloroplast (cp) genomes of Hemiptelea davidii, Ulmus parvifolia, Ulmus lamellosa, Ulmus castaneifolia, and Ulmus pumila 'zhonghuajinye' were spliced, assembled and annotated using the Illumina HiSeq PE150 sequencing platform, and then compared to the cp genomes of other Ulmus and Ulmaceae species. The results indicated that the cp genomes of the five sequenced species showed a typical tetrad structure with full lengths ranging from 159,113 to 160,388 bp. The large single copy (LSC), inverted repeat (IR), and small single copy (SSC) lengths were in the range of 87,736-88,466 bp, 26,317-26,622 bp and 18,485-19,024 bp, respectively. A total of 130-131 genes were annotated, including 85-86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and eight rRNA genes. The GC contents of the five species were similar, ranging from 35.30 to 35.62%. Besides, the GC content was different in different region and the GC content in IR region was the highest. A total of 64-133 single sequence repeat (SSR) loci were identified among all 21 Ulmaceae species. The (A)n and (T)n types of mononucleotide were highest in number, and the lengths were primarily distributed in 10-12 bp, with a clear AT preference. A branch-site model and a Bayes Empirical Bayes analysis indicated that the rps15 and rbcL had the positive selection sites. Besides, the analysis of mVISTA and sliding windows got a lot of hotspots such as trnH/psbA, rps16/trnQ, trnS/trnG, trnG/trnR and rpl32/trnL, which could be utilized as potential markers for the species identification and phylogeny reconstruction within Ulmus in the further studies. Moreover, the evolutionary tree of Ulmaceae species based on common protein genes, whole cp genome sequences and common genes in IR region of the 23 Ulmaceae species were constructed using the ML method. The results showed that these Ulmaceae species were divided into two branches, one that included Ulmus, Zelkova and Hemiptelea, among which Hemiptelea was the first to differentiate and one that included Celtis, Trema, Pteroceltis, Gironniera and Aphananthe. Besides, these variations found in this study could be used for the classification, identification and phylogenetic study of Ulmus species. Our study provided important genetic information to support further investigations into the phylogenetic development and adaptive evolution of Ulmus and Ulmaceae species.

Project description:Background: Hydrangea section Cornidia consists of 26 currently accepted species and a yet undefined number of new species and erroneously synonymized taxa. This clade consists of (sub)tropical lianas occurring from northern Mexico to southern Chile and Argentina, and one species from Southeast Asia. Currently, no molecular phylogenetic hypothesis is available that includes more than a few species of this section. Hence, a resolved and well-sampled molecular phylogenetic hypothesis may help to enforce taxonomic decisions. In this study, we present a phylogenetic framework based on sequences from two low copy nuclear genes from a comprehensive taxon sampling of H. section Cornidia and a selection of outgroups. Our phylogenetic reconstructions prove the non-monophyly of the traditionally recognized subsections Monosegia and Polysegia and their corresponding series, Speciosae and Aphananthae, and Synstyleae and Chorystyleae, respectively. Three morphologically defined species were recovered with high support as monophyletic, namely, Hydrangea panamensis, Hydrangea serratifolia, and Hydrangea tarapotensis. However, statistical support for some shallow nodes did not allow to refute, with high support, the monophyly of several of the herein recognized species for which more than one individual could be analyzed. Based on the obtained phylogenetic framework, we reconstructed the evolution of selected reproductive characters. Hydrangea section Cornidia is the only genus section for which dioecism has been extensively documented. Our character reconstruction of sexual dimorphism shows that dioecism is the ancestral state in this section and that this was reversed to monoecy in Hydrangea seemannii and Hydrangea integrifolia. Character reconstruction for the enlarged marginal flowers recovered their presence as the ancestral character state in H. section Cornidia, although at least three internal lineages independently lost them; thus, losses were reconstructed to be more likely than gain. With respect to the flower color, more species exhibit white than red flowers, and white is reconstructed as the ancestral state. Cornidia also shows an unusual disjunct geographic distribution between Asia and Central Mesoamerica-South America, as it is not present in the USA and Canada. The origin of Cornidia is reconstructed to be the New World with higher probability, and the presence of one species in Asia is likely due to long-distance dispersal.
