Characterization of two complete chloroplast genomes of Lindera megaphylla (Lauraceae).

ABSTRACT: Lindera megaphylla (Lauraceae) is an ecologically important and dominant evergreen broad-leaf tree species in the warm-temperate and subtropical zone of China. In this study, we sequenced and assembled two complete genomes of L. megaphylla (LM01 and LM02) based on the next-generation sequencing data. The two complete chloroplasts of L. megaphylla are 152,741 bp in length, including two same length inverted repeats of 20,067 and 20,068 bp, a small single copy of 18,882 and 18,914 bp and a large single copy of 93,726 and 93,691 bp for LM01 and LM02 respectively. They all contain 84 protein-coding, 36 tRNA and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast genomes indicates that L. megaphylla is closely related to another Lindera and Litsea species.

The complete chloroplast genome of Lindera pulcherrima var. hemsleyana (Lauraceae).

Project description:Lindera pulcherrima var. hemsleyana is an evergreen tree of the genus Lindera with important medicinal value. The complete chloroplast genome of L. pulcherrima var. hemsleyana is 152,710 bp in length, containing a LSC region of 93,751 bp, a SSC region of 18,813 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRA and IRB) of 20,073 bp each. The genome encoded 128 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, 36 transfer RNA genes, and one pseudogene (ycf1). Most of these genes occurred in a single copy, whereas 15 genes occurred in double copies, including all rRNA, 6 tRNA, and 5 protein-coding genes. The GC content of the whole genome, LSC, SSC, and IR regions is 39.2%, 38.0%, 33.9%, and 44.4%, respectively. A total of 90 SSRs were discovered, the numbers of mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexa-nucleotides SSRs were 66, 10, 4, 8, 1, and 1, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of cp genomes from 24 species of Lauraceae revealed that cp genomes of L. pulcherrima var. hemsleyana, L. pulcherrima var. attenuata, and L. pulcherrima formed a monophyletic clade with 100% bootstrap value.

Comparative chloroplast genomics and phylogenetics of nine Lindera species (Lauraceae).

Project description:Lindera, a core genus of the Lauraceae family, has important economic uses in eastern Asia and North America. However, its historical diversification has not been clarified. In this study, we report nine newly sequenced Lindera plastomes. The plastomes of these nine Lindera species range from 152,211 (L. nacusua) to 152,968 bp (L. metcalfiana) in length, similar to that of another Lauraceae species, Litsea glutinosa (152,618 bp). The length variation of these plastomes derived from the length variation in the loci ycf1, ycf2, ψycf1, and ndhF-ψycf1. Comparing our sequences with other available plastomes in the Lauraceae indicated that eight hypervariable loci, ihbA-trnG, ndhA, ndhF-rpl32, petA-psbJ, psbK-psbI, rps16, trnS-trnG, and ycf1, could serve as DNA barcodes for species delineation, and that the inverted repeats (IRs) showed contraction/expansion. Further phylogenetic analyses were performed using 32 complete plastomes of Lauraceae and seven barcodes from 14 additional species of Lindera and related species in the core Lauraceae. The results showed that these Lindera species grouped into two or four sub-clades, and that two Litsea species and Laurus nobilis were located in the same sub-clade as five Lindera species. These data support a close relationship between the genera Laurus, Lindera, and Litsea, and suggest that Lindera is polyphyletic.

Project description:Lindera fragrans, naturally distributed in southern China, is economic and ecological tree. Its leaves are one of the primary raw materials for processing Hawk tea. Here, we assembled the complete chloroplast genome of L. fragrans using Illumina pair-end sequencing. The chloroplast genome size was 152,739 base pairs (bp) with 39% GC content, containing a pair of inverted repeats (IRA/B) of 20,067 bp, separated by a large- and a small single-copy region (LSC/SSC) of 93,711 bp and 18,894 bp, respectively. The genome encoded 126 genes, including 82 protein-coding, 36 transfer RNA (tRNA), and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast genome sequences of 22 species suggested that L. fragrans was closely related to species of Lindera genus than other genera in Lauraceae. These results can be a valuable genome resource for further genetics and molecular biology studies.

Complete chloroplast genome sequences of two endangered Phoebe (Lauraceae) species.

Project description:BackgroundPhoebe (Lauraceae) comprises of evergreen trees or shrubs with approximately 100 species, distributed in tropical and subtropical Asia and Neotropical America. A total of 34 species and three varieties occur in China. Despite of economic and ecological value, only limited genomic resources are available for this genus.ResultsWe sequenced the two complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of Phoebe chekiangensis and P. bournei using Illumina sequencing technology via a combined strategy of de novo and reference-guided assembly. We also performed comparative analyses with the cp genomes of P. sheareri and P. sheareri var. oineiensis previously reported. The chloroplast genomes of P. chekiangensis and P. bournei identically contain 112 genes consisting of 78 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes, with the size of 152,849 and 152,853 bp, respectively. From the two chloroplast genomes, 131 SSRs were identified and 12 different SSRs located in five protein coding genes. The analysis showed the extremely conserved structure of chloroplast genomes with surprisingly little variations at the LSC/IR and SSC/IR boundaries. Moreover, the mean nucleotide diversity was found to be 0.162% for 77 regions, suggesting an extraordinarily low level of sequence divergence. Four highest divergent regions (trnH-psbA, rps14-trnT, petA-psbJ, ccsA-ndhD) with the percentage of nucleotide diversity higher than 0.50% were identified, which had potential use for species identification and phylogenetic studies.ConclusionThis study will facilitate our understanding of population genetics, phylogenetic relationship and plant evolution of Phoebe species.

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.

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci for Lindera glauca (Lauraceae).

Project description:Microsatellite primers were developed to investigate population genetic structure in Lindera glauca (Lauraceae). Twenty-five microsatellite primers were developed and optimized for L. glauca using Illumina's Solexa sequencing technology. These novel primers were found to be polymorphic in nine wild L. glauca populations with 81 total alleles confirmed and genotyped via capillary gel electrophoresis. The total number of alleles, observed heterozygosity, and expected heterozygosity for each population ranged from one to four, from 0.00 to 0.90, and from 0.00 to 0.79, respectively. In addition, the 25 primers were tested in 10 additional individuals of the related species L. communis, and all but four markers showed good amplification results. This set of microsatellite primers is the first specifically developed for L. glauca and will facilitate studies of genetic diversity and evolution among populations of this species.

Comparative and phylogenetic analysis of complete chloroplast genomes from seven Neocinnamomum taxa (Lauraceae).

Project description:The genus Neocinnamomum is considered to be one of the most enigmatic groups in Lauraceae, mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia. The genus contains valuable oilseed and medicinal tree species. However, there are few studies on the genus Neocinnamomum at present, and its interspecific relationship is still unclear. In order to explore the genetic structure and evolutionary characteristics of the Neocinnamomum chloroplast genome and to resolve the species relationships within the genus, comparative genomic and phylogenetic analyses were performed on the whole chloroplast genome sequences of 51 samples representing seven Neocinnamomum taxa. The whole Neocinnamomum chloroplast genome size ranged from 150,753-150,956 bp, with a GC content of 38.8%-38.9%. A total of 128 genes were annotated within the Neocinnamomum chloroplast genome, including 84 protein coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 36 tRNA genes. Between 71-82 SSRs were detected, among which A/T base repeats were the most common. The chloroplast genome contained a total of 31 preferred codons. Three highly variable regions, trnN-GUU-ndhF, petA-psbJ, and ccsA-ndhD, were identified with Pi values > 0.004. Based on the whole chloroplast genome phylogenetic tree, the phylogenetic relationships among the seven Neocinnamomum taxa were determined. N. delavayi and N. fargesii were the most closely related species, and N. lecomtei was identified as the most basal taxon. In this study, the characteristics and sequence variation of the chloroplast genomes of seven Neocinnamomum taxa were revealed, and the genetic relationship among the species was clarified. The results of this study will provide a reference for subsequent molecular marker development and phylogenetic research of Neocinnamomum.
