Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Mirabilis himalaica (Nyctaginaceae).

ABSTRACT: Mirabilis himalaica (Nyctaginaceae) is endemic to the Himalayas where it is used in traditional Tibetan folk medicine. In this study, we first presented the complete chloroplast genome of M. himalaica. Complete genome size of M. himalaica ranged from 154,348 to 154,388?bp. The length varied from 85,808 to 85,845?bp in the (large single-copy) LSC region, from 17,935 to 17,938?bp in the (small single-copy) SSC region, and from 25,302 to 25,303?bp in the inverted repeat (IR) region. The overall GC contents of the chloroplast genome sequences were around 36%. Annotation analysis revealed a total of 112 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis with three M. himalaica samples and five other Nyctaginaceae species showed that Mirabilis including two species was clustered with high bootstrap support. The complete chloroplast genome sequences obtained in this study will provide valuable data for wider studies into the phylogenetics and conservation biology of M. himalaica.

Project description:Bougainvillea (Nyctaginaceae) is a popular ornamental plant group primarily grown for its striking colorful bracts. However, despite its established horticultural value, limited genomic resources and molecular studies have been reported for this genus. Thus, to address this existing gap, complete chloroplast genomes of four species (Bougainvillea glabra, Bougainvillea peruviana, Bougainvillea pachyphylla, Bougainvillea praecox) and one Bougainvillea cultivar were sequenced and characterized. The Bougainvillea cp genomes range from 153,966 bp to 154,541 bp in length, comprising a large single-copy region (85,159 bp-85,708 bp) and a small single-copy region (18,014 bp-18,078 bp) separated by a pair of inverted repeats (25,377-25,427 bp). All sequenced plastomes have 131 annotated genes, including 86 protein-coding, eight rRNA, and 37 tRNA genes. These five newly sequenced Bougainvillea cp genomes were compared to the Bougainvillea spectabilis cp genome deposited in GeBank. The results showed that all cp genomes have highly similar structures, contents, and organization. They all exhibit quadripartite structures and all have the same numbers of genes and introns. Codon usage, RNA editing sites, and repeat analyses also revealed highly similar results for the six cp genomes. The amino acid leucine has the highest proportion and almost all favored synonymous codons have either an A or U ending. Likewise, out of the 42 predicted RNA sites, most conversions were from serine (S) to leucine (L). The majority of the simple sequence repeats detected were A/T mononucleotides, making the cp genomes A/T-rich. The contractions and expansions of the IR boundaries were very minimal as well, hence contributing very little to the differences in genome size. In addition, sequence variation analyses showed that Bougainvillea cp genomes share nearly identical genomic profiles though several potential barcodes, such as ycf1, ndhF, and rpoA were identified. Higher variation was observed in both B. peruviana and B. pachyphylla cp sequences based on SNPs and indels analysis. Phylogenetic reconstructions further showed that these two species appear to be the basal taxa of Bougainvillea. The rarely cultivated and wild species of Bougainvillea (B. pachyphylla, B. peruviana, B. praecox) diverged earlier than the commonly cultivated species and cultivar (B. spectabilis, B. glabra, B. cv.). Overall, the results of this study provide additional genetic resources that can aid in further phylogenetic and evolutionary studies in Bougainvillea. Moreover, genetic information from this study is potentially useful in identifying Bougainvillea species and cultivars, which is essential for both taxonomic and plant breeding studies.
