The complete plastid genome of Hong Kong Orchid Tree, Bauhinia × blakeana Dunn (Leguminosae).

ABSTRACT: Bauhinia × blakeana Dunn, or the Hong Kong Orchid Tree, is a popular ornamental plant in the tropical and subtropical regions. In this study, we report and characterise the complete plastid genome of B. × blakeana in an effort to provide genomic resources for genetic utilization. The complete plastome is 156,100?bp in length and contains the typical quadripartite structure, including two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,847?bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,484?bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,922?bp. 126 genes are annotated, including 81 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes, and eight ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis based on the plastomes from B. × blakeana and 11 previously reported species of Cercidoideae suggested a sister-relationship between B. × blakeana and B. acuminata L. with strong bootstrap support.

Chromosomal-level genome assembly of the orchid tree Bauhinia variegata (Leguminosae; Cercidoideae) supports the allotetraploid origin hypothesis of Bauhinia.

Project description:Cercidoideae, one of the six subfamilies of Leguminosae, contains one genus Cercis with its chromosome number 2n = 14 and all other genera with 2n = 28. An allotetraploid origin hypothesis for the common ancestor of non-Cercis genera in this subfamily has been proposed; however, no chromosome-level genomes from Cercidoideae have been available to test this hypothesis. Here, we conducted a chromosome-level genome assembly of Bauhinia variegata to test this hypothesis. The assembled genome is 326.4 Mb with the scaffold N50 of 22.1 Mb and contains 37,996 protein-coding genes. The Ks distribution between gene pairs in the syntenic regions indicates two whole-genome duplications (WGDs): one is B. variegata-specific, and the other is shared among core eudicots. Although Ks between gene pairs generated by the recent WGD in Bauhinia is greater than that between Bauhinia and Cercis, the WGD was not detected in Cercis, which can be explained by an accelerated evolutionary rate in Bauhinia after divergence from Cercis. Ks distribution and phylogenetic analysis for gene pairs generated by the recent WGD in Bauhinia and their corresponding orthologs in Cercis support the allopolyploidy origin hypothesis of Bauhinia. The genome of B. variegata also provides a genomic resource for dissecting genetic basis of its ornamental traits.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Bauhinia variegata (Leguminosae).

Project description:The mitogenome of Bauhinia variegate was assembled and characterized in this study. The mitogenome size was 437,271 bp, and its GC content was 45.5%. 36 protein-coding genes, 17 tRNAs and 3 rRNAs were annotated in the mitogenome. A total of 12 MTPTs, ranging from 71 bp to 3562 bp, were identified in the mitogenome and covered 1.46% (6373 bp) of the mitogenome. Phylogenetic analysis of 15 species of Leguminosae based on 23 core protein-coding genes showed that B. variegata was sister to Tylosema esculentum, another member from the subfamily Cercidoideae. The mitogenome of B. variegata provides a valuable genetic resource for further phylogenetic studies of this family.

The complete plastid genome of Zenia insignis Chun (Leguminosae).

Project description:Zenia insignis Chun is a rare and threatened species of the monotypic genus Zenia Chun in the subfamily Dialioideae of Leguminosae. The complete plastid genome of Zenia insignis was sequenced for the first time which also represents the first complete plastid genome of the subfamily Dialioideae. The total length of this genome is 159,358 bp with a large single copy (LSC) region (88,507 bp), a small single copy (SSC) region (18,689 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IRs, 26,081 bp). We recovered 128 functional genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis strongly supported a sister relationship between Z. insignis and the clade consisting of Caesalpinioideae and Papilionoideae.

The complete plastid genome of Delonix regia (Hook.) Raf. (Leguminosae).

Project description:Delonix regia, a plant species of the legume family native to Madagascar, has been widely cultivated in the tropical and subtropical regions as an ornamental tree due to its remarkable showy orange-red flowers over summer. Here we report for the first time the complete plastid genome of this species, which has a typical circular structure with a total length of 162,756 bp and contains two inverted repeat regions (IRs, 25,544 bp), a large single copy region (LSC, 92,490 bp), and a small single copy region (SSC, 19,178 bp). The phylogenetic analysis based on the complete plastome sequences of this species and those of the related species from GenBank strongly suggested that D. regia is nested in the subfamily Caesalpinioideae and is sister to a clade consisting of Erythrophlium fordii and the old-sense Mimosoideae.

The complete plastid genome sequence of Phyllodium pulchellum (L.) Desv. (Leguminosae).

Project description:This study investigated the complete plastid genome of Phyllodium pulchellum, which represents the first report of the complete plastome for the genus Phyllodium in the tribe Desmodieae of the subfamily Papilionoideae. De novo assembly and annotation showed that the plastid genome is a typical quadripartite structure consisting of two inverted repeats (IR = 24,286 bp), one small single copy (SSC = 18,334 bp), and one large single copy (LSC = 82,715 bp). We found 111 unique genes, including 77 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on the newly sequenced plastid genome of Ph. pulchellum and 11 plastomes obtained from GenBank recovered a strongly supported phylogenetic backbone of the tribe Desmodieae and a sister-relationship between Phyllodium and Ohwia.

Complete genome sequences of novel canine noroviruses in Hong Kong.

Project description:We report the complete genome sequences of two novel isolates of norovirus isolated from the fecal swab specimens of dogs in Hong Kong. The complete viral genome is approximately 7.6 kb in length and consists of 3 overlapping open reading frames encoding the ORF1 polyprotein, VP1, and VP2, respectively. Analysis of the VP1 sequence suggested that these noroviruses are divergent from known noroviruses and may represent a novel phylogenetic clade within the genus.

Complete genome sequences of novel rat noroviruses in Hong Kong.

Project description:We report two genome sequences of novel noroviruses isolated from fecal swab specimens of brown rats in Hong Kong. The complete genome is approximately 7.5 kb in length and consists of 3 overlapping open reading frames encoding ORF1 polyprotein, VP1, and VP2, respectively. Sequence analysis suggested that these noroviruses should be classified in genogroup V, but they are distinct from other known rodent noroviruses and represent a novel cluster within the genogroup.
