Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Taxillus chinensis (Loranthaceae): a hemiparasitic shrub in South China.

ABSTRACT: Taxillus chinensis (DC) Danser, which is a hemiparasitic shrub distributed in southern China and Southeast Asian countries, is wildly used in various traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of the T. chinensis was assembled from the whole genome Illumina sequencing data. The complete plastome is a typical quadripartite structure with a length of 121,305 bp, which contained two inverted repeats (IRs) of 22,460 bp separated by a large single-copy (LSC) and a small single copy (SSC) of 70,295 bp and 6090 bp, respectively. The plastome contains 106 genes, comprising 66 protein-coding genes, 28 tRNA genes, eight rRNA genes, and four processed pseudogenes. The overall GC content of the plastome is 37.4%, which is unevenly distributed across the whole chloroplast genome. The phylogenetic analysis shows that T. chinensis was closely related to the congeneric species T. sutchuenensis.

This genome is 122,192 bp long, with two IR regions (22,756 bp each) that separate a large single-copy (LSC) region (70,628 bp) and a small single-copy (SSC) region (6052 bp). It contains 109 genes that encode 68 proteins, 8 rRNAs, and 33 tRNAs. All of ndh genes have been lost and the SSC region consists of only four genes similar to other Taxillus species. In ML phylogenetic, monophyly of Taxillus was strongly supported with high bootstrap value and formed a sister group with Scurrula.

Project description:Scurrula chingii (W.C. Cheng) H.S. Kiu is a stem hemiparasite of the genus Scurrula in the family Loranthaceae distributed in southwest China and northern Vietnam. Here, we report and characterize the complete plastid genome sequence of S. chingii to provide genomic resources useful for the phylogenetic studies of Santalales.

Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly of the Hemiparasitic Taxillus chinensis (DC.) Danser.

Project description:The hemiparasitic Taxillus chinensis (DC.) Danser is a root-parasitizing medicinal plant with photosynthetic ability, which is lost in other parasitic plants. However, the cultivation and medical application of the species are limited by the recalcitrant seeds of the species, and even though the molecular mechanisms underlying this recalcitrance have been investigated using transcriptomic and proteomic methods, genome resources for T. chinensis have yet to be reported. Accordingly, the aim of the present study was to use nanopore, short-read, and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture sequencing to construct a chromosome-level assembly of the T. chinensis genome. The final genome assembly was 521.90 Mb in length, and 496.43 Mb (95.12%) could be grouped into nine chromosomes with contig and scaffold N50 values of 3.80 and 56.90 Mb, respectively. In addition, a total of 33,894 protein-coding genes were predicted, and gene family clustering identified 11 photosystem-related gene families, thereby indicating photosynthetic ability, which is a characteristic of hemiparasitic plants. This chromosome-level genome assembly of T. chinensis provides a valuable genomic resource for elucidating the genetic basis underlying the recalcitrant characteristics of T. chinensis seeds and the evolution of photosynthesis loss in parasitic plants.

Plastome variation and phylogeny of Taxillus (Loranthaceae).

Project description:Several molecular phylogenetic studies of the mistletoe family Loranthaceae have been published such that now the general pattern of relationships among the genera and their biogeographic histories are understood. Less is known about species relationships in the larger (> 10 species) genera. This study examines the taxonomically difficult genus Taxillus composed of 35-40 Asian species. The goal was to explore the genetic diversity present in Taxillus plastomes, locate genetically variable hotspots, and test these for their utility as potential DNA barcodes. Using genome skimming, complete plastomes, as well as nuclear and mitochondrial rDNA sequences, were newly generated for eight species. The plastome sequences were used in conjunction with seven publicly available Taxillus sequences and three sequences of Scurrula, a close generic relative. The Taxillus plastomes ranged from 121 to 123 kbp and encoded 90-93 plastid genes. In addition to all of the NADH dehydrogenase complex genes, four ribosomal genes, infA and four intron-containing tRNA genes were lost or pseudogenized in all of the Taxillus and Scurrula plastomes. The topologies of the plastome, mitochondrial rDNA and nuclear rDNA trees were generally congruent, though with discordance at the position of T. chinensis. Several variable regions in the plastomes were identified that have sufficient numbers of parsimony informative sites as to recover the major clades seen in the complete plastome tree. Instead of generating complete plastome sequences, our study showed that accD alone or the concatenation of accD and rbcL can be used in future studies to facilitate identification of Taxillus samples and to generate a molecular phylogeny with robust sampling within the genus.
