Complete chloroplast genome sequence of an alpine rhubarb Rheum likiangense.

ABSTRACT: Rheum likiangense Samuelsson (Polygonaceae) is an endangered alpine rhubarb in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In this study we report the complete chloroplast genome sequence (plastome) of Rh. likiangense. The assembled plastome is 162,291 bp in length with 31,741 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions and 128 annotated genes, including 34 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 86 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analyses based on the full plastome sequences suggest the close relationship of Rh. likiangense with Rh. acuminatum and Rh. nobile. The plastome reported here is highly useful for designing plastome SSR markers to conduct a further conservation genetic study of this endangered rhubarb.

The genome of the glasshouse plant noble rhubarb (Rheum nobile) provides a window into alpine adaptation.

Project description:Glasshouse plants are species that trap warmth via specialized morphology and physiology, mimicking a human glasshouse. In the Himalayan alpine region, the highly specialized glasshouse morphology has independently evolved in distinct lineages to adapt to intensive UV radiation and low temperature. Here we demonstrate that the glasshouse structure - specialized cauline leaves - is highly effective in absorbing UV light but transmitting visible and infrared light, creating an optimal microclimate for the development of reproductive organs. We reveal that this glasshouse syndrome has evolved at least three times independently in the rhubarb genus Rheum. We report the genome sequence of the flagship glasshouse plant Rheum nobile and identify key genetic network modules in association with the morphological transition to specialized glasshouse leaves, including active secondary cell wall biogenesis, upregulated cuticular cutin biosynthesis, and suppression of photosynthesis and terpenoid biosynthesis. The distinct cell wall organization and cuticle development might be important for the specialized optical property of glasshouse leaves. We also find that the expansion of LTRs has likely played an important role in noble rhubarb adaptation to high elevation environments. Our study will enable additional comparative analyses to identify the genetic basis underlying the convergent occurrence of glasshouse syndrome.

Characterization and Comparative Analysis of Two Rheum Complete Chloroplast Genomes.

Project description:Rheum species present a significant economic value. Traditional Chinese medicine rhubarb is an important medicinal material in China. It has a long history of use, with a record of use as early as two thousand years ago. Here, we determined the complete chloroplast genome sequences of Rheum nobile and Rheum acuminatum and comprehensively compared them to two other available Rheum cp genomes at the genome scale. The results revealed cp genomes ranging in size from 159,051 to 161,707?bp with a similar typical quadripartite and circular structure. The genome organization, gene numbers, gene order, and GC contents of these four Rheum cp genomes were similar to those of many angiosperm cp genomes. Repeats and microsatellites were detected in the R. nobile and R. acuminatum cp genomes. The Mauve alignment revealed that there were no rearrangements in the cp genomes of the four Rheum species. Thirteen mutational hotspots for genome divergence were identified, which could be utilized as potential markers for phylogenetic studies and the identification of Rheum species. The phylogenetic relationships of the four species showed that the members of Rheum cluster into a single clade, indicating their close relationships. Our study provides valuable information for the taxonomic, phylogenetic, and evolutionary analysis of Rheum.

The genome contained 114 genes, namely 79 protein-coding genes, 31 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA. The overall GC content was 37.8%. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that Philadelphus was closely related to Deutzia. The present study was the first report on complete cp genome of Philadelphus so it could afford important genetic information for further researches on the genus and related genera.
