Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Pterocarya stenoptera, a tall deciduous tree of the family Juglandaceae.

ABSTRACT: Pterocarya stenoptera, also called Chinese wingnut in China, is a tall deciduous tree of the walnut family (Juglandaceae). P. stenoptera is one of the most popular shade trees owing to its tall and graceful form and rapid growth rate. In the present study, the chloroplast genome of P. stenoptera was assembled and analyzed phylogenetically. The chloroplast genome of P. stenoptera is 160,212 bp in length, with a large single-copy region (LSC) of 88,724 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,396 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 26,046 bp, forming a typical quadripartite structure. A total of 130 genes are annotated from the chloroplast genome of P. stenoptera, including 82 protein-coding genes, 40 transfer RNA (tRNAs) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNAs) genes. The GC content of the chloroplast genome is 36.2%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the common proteins from P. stenoptera and 14 related species confirmed the close relationship between Pterocarya and Juglans.

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from Pterocarya stenoptera (Juglandaceae).

Project description:Premise of the studyMicrosatellite markers of Pterocarya stenoptera (Juglandaceae) were developed for future studies on the population genetic diversity and spatial genetic structure of the species.Methods and resultsBased on Illumina sequencing of the transcriptome of P. stenoptera, a total of 2452 microsatellites were identified from 83,674 assembled unigenes. One hundred microsatellites were randomly selected to design amplification primer pairs. Of these, 15 were successfully amplified and displayed polymorphism. For these markers, the number of alleles per locus and population ranged from one to six. The levels of observed and expected heterozygosity varied from 0.000 to 1.000 and 0.000 to 0.718, respectively. Furthermore, all of the 15 loci were successfully cross-amplified in another congeneric species (P. hupehensis) and were demonstrated to be polymorphic.ConclusionsThe microsatellite loci described here can be used for future population genetic and landscape genetic studies on P. stenoptera.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Pterocarya macroptera var. delavayi (Juglandaceae).

Project description:In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Pterocarya macroptera var. delavayi was reported and characterized. The chloroplast genome is 160,168 bp in length, and consists the typical quadripartite structure, a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 26,007 bp) separated by a large single-copy region (89,701 bp) and a small single-copy region (18,453 bp). A total of 136 unique genes were predicted, including 88 protein-coding genes, 40 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The GC content of the chloroplast genome is 36.2%. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the close relationship between Pterocarya and Juglans.

Adaptive genetic differentiation in Pterocarya stenoptera (Juglandaceae) driven by multiple environmental variables were revealed by landscape genomics.

Project description:BackgroundThe investigation of the genetic basis of local adaptation in non-model species is an interesting focus of evolutionary biologists and molecular ecologists. Identifying these adaptive genetic variabilities on the genome responsible can provide insight into the genetic mechanism of local adaptation.ResultsWe investigated the spatial distribution of genetic variation in 22 natural populations of Pterocarya stenoptera across its distribution area in China to provide insights into the complex interplay between multiple environmental variables and adaptive genetic differentiation. The Bayesian analysis of population structure showed that the 22 populations of P. stenoptera were subdivided into two groups. Redundancy analysis demonstrated that this genetic differentiation was caused by the divergent selection of environmental difference. A total of 44 outlier loci were mutually identified by Arlequin and BayeScan, 43 of which were environment-associated loci (EAL). The results of latent factor mixed model analysis showed that solar radiation in June (Sr6), minimum temperature of the coldest month (Bio6), temperature seasonality (Bio4), and water vapor pressure in January (Wvp1) were associated with the highest numbers of EAL. Sr6 was associated with the ecological habitat of "prefered light", and Bio6 and Wvp1 were associated with the ecological habitat of "warm and humid environment".ConclusionsOur results provided empirical evidence that environmental variables related to the ecological habitats of species play key roles in driving adaptive differentiation of species genome.

Phylogeny, Taxonomy, and Biogeography of Pterocarya (Juglandaceae).

Project description:Relict species play an important role in understanding the biogeography of intercontinental disjunctions. Pterocarya (a relict genus) is the valuable model taxon for studying the biogeography of East Asian versus southern European/West Asian disjunct patterns. This disjunction has not been as well studied as others (e.g., between Eastern Asia and North America). Several phylogenetic studies on Pterocarya have been conducted, but none have provided a satisfactory phylogenetic resolution. Here, we report the first well-resolved phylogeny of Pterocarya using restriction site-associated DNA sequencing data based on the sampling of all taxa across the entire distribution area of the genus. Taxonomic treatments were also clarified by combining morphological traits. Furthermore, fossil-calibrated phylogeny was used to explore the biogeography of Pterocarya. Our results support the existence of two sections in Pterocarya, which is in accordance with morphological taxonomy. Section Platyptera comprises three species: P. rhoifolia, P. macroptera, and P. delavayi. Section Pterocarya also comprises three species: P. fraxinifolia, P. hupehensis, and P. stenoptera. The divergence between the two sections took place during the early Miocene (20.5 Ma). The formation of the Gobi Desert and climate cooling of northern Siberia in the Middle Miocene (15.7 Ma) might have caused the split of the continuous distribution of this genus and the formation of the East Asian versus southern European/West Asian disjunct pattern. Lastly, the divergence between P. hupehensis and P. stenoptera as well as between P. rhoifolia and P. macroptera/P. delavayi (10.0 Ma) supports the late Miocene diversification hypothesis in East Asia.

Molecular Phylogeography Analysis Reveals Population Dynamics and Genetic Divergence of a Widespread Tree Pterocarya stenoptera in China.

Project description:The geological events, past climatic fluctuations, and river systems played key roles in the spatial distribution, population dynamics, and genetic differentiation of species. In this work, we selected Pterocarya stenoptera, a widespread tree species in China, to test the roles of these factors. Four noncoding spacers, eight microsatellite (simple sequence repeat) markers, and species distribution modeling were used to examine the phylogeographical pattern of P. stenoptera. Based on chloroplast DNA data, populations of P. stenoptera were clearly clustered into three groups. The divergence time of these groups fell into the stage of the Qinghai-Tibet Movement, 1.7-2.6 Ma. For simple sequence repeat data, only one western marginal population YNYB could be separated from other populations, whereas other populations were mixed together. Our results indicated that the environmental heterogeneity resulting from the Qinghai-Tibet movement might be response for this genetic divergence. The climatic fluctuations in the Pleistocene did not cause the substantial range shift of P. stenoptera, while the fluctuations affected its population size. Moreover, we also confirmed the river systems did not act as channels or barrier of dispersal for P. stenoptera.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Engelhardia roxburghiana (Juglandaceae).

Project description:Engelhardia roxburghiana is a traditional Chinese medicine in the Juglandaceae family. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of E. roxburghiana was reported and characterized. The cp genome is 161,550 bp in length and contains a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 25,862 bp) separated by a large (90,937 bp) and small (18,889 bp) single-copy regions. A total of 113 unique genes were predicted, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that E. roxburghiana is resolved as a sister group to the clade of subfam. Juglandoideae.
