The complete chloroplast genome of brown flatsedge, Cyperus fuscus (Cyperaceae).

ABSTRACT: Cyperus fuscus known as brown flatsedge plays an important role in sand fixation and water purification. The first complete chloroplast genome sequences of pioneering plant C. fuscus were reported in this study. The complete chloroplast genome was 167,660?bp in length, containing a large single copy region (LSC) of 79,790?bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 12,192?bp, which were separated by a pair of 37,839?bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). The chloroplast genome contains 135 genes, including 92 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 35 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content is 36.3%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR region are 35.1%, 28.3%, and 38.5%, respectively. Further, the maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed a strong sister relationship with Cyperus difformis in Cyperaceae. Our findings provide a foundation for further study of chloroplast genome evolution and genetics information in C. fuscus.

Project description:BackgroundCyperus stoloniferus is an important species in coastal ecosystems and possesses economic and ecological value. To elucidate the structural characteristics, variation, and evolution of the organelle genome of C. stoloniferus, we sequenced, assembled, and compared its mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes.ResultsWe assembled the mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes of C. stoloniferus. The total length of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) was 927,413 bp, with a GC content of 40.59%. It consists of two circular DNAs, including 37 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, and five rRNAs. The length of the chloroplast genome (cpDNA) was 186,204 bp, containing 93 PCGs, 40 tRNAs, and 8 rRNAs. The mtDNA and cpDNA contained 81 and 129 tandem repeats, respectively, and 346 and 1,170 dispersed repeats, respectively, both of which have 270 simple sequence repeats. The third high-frequency codon (RSCU > 1) in the organellar genome tended to end at A or U, whereas the low-frequency codon (RSCU < 1) tended to end at G or C. The RNA editing sites of the PCGs were relatively few, with only 9 and 23 sites in the mtDNA and cpDNA, respectively. A total of 28 mitochondrial plastid DNAs (MTPTs) in the mtDNA were derived from cpDNA, including three complete trnT-GGU, trnH-GUG, and trnS-GCU. Phylogeny and collinearity indicated that the relationship between C. stoloniferus and C. rotundus are closest. The mitochondrial rns gene exhibited the greatest nucleotide variability, whereas the chloroplast gene with the greatest nucleotide variability was infA. Most PCGs in the organellar genome are negatively selected and highly evolutionarily conserved. Only six mitochondrial genes and two chloroplast genes exhibited Ka/Ks > 1; in particular, atp9, atp6, and rps7 may have undergone potential positive selection.ConclusionWe assembled and validated the mtDNA of C. stoloniferus, which contains a 15,034 bp reverse complementary sequence. The organelle genome sequence of C. stoloniferus provides valuable genomic resources for species identification, evolution, and comparative genomic research in Cyperaceae.
