Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Ilex latifolia (Aquifoliaceae), a traditional Chinese tea.

ABSTRACT: Ilex latifolia (Aquifoliaceae), commonly known as 'kudingcha', is an evergreen tree widely distributed in southwest China. It is well known for its health function due to possess antioxidant, antidiabetic, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-ischemic activities. Here, we first report and characterize its complete chloroplast genome based on Illumina paired-end sequencing data. The complete plastid genome was 157,601 bp, which contained inverted repeats (IR) of 26,077 bp separated by a large single-copy (LSC) and a small single copy (SSC) of 87,020 bp and 18,427 bp, respectively. The cpDNA contains 143 genes, comprising 95 protein-coding genes, 40 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the plastome is 37.6%. The phylogenetic analysis of 18 selected chloroplast genomes demonstrated that I. latifolia is closely related to the congeneric I. integra.

Complete chloroplast genome of Ilex dabieshanensis: Genome structure, comparative analyses with three traditional Ilex tea species, and its phylogenetic relationships within the family Aquifoliaceae.

Project description:Ilex dabieshanensis K. Yao & M. B. Deng is not only a highly valued tree species for landscaping, it is also a good material for making kuding tea due to its anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering medicinal properties. Utilizing next-generation and long-read sequencing technologies, we assembled the whole chloroplast genome of I. dabieshanensis. The genome was 157,218 bp in length, exhibiting a typical quadripartite structure with a large single copy (LSC: 86,607 bp), a small single copy (SSC: 18,427 bp) and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRA and IRB: each of 26,092 bp). A total of 121 predicted genes were encoded, including 113 distinctive (79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs) and 8 duplicated (8 protein-coding genes) located in the IR regions. Overall, 132 SSRs and 43 long repeats were detected and could be used as potential molecular markers. Comparative analyses of four traditional Ilex tea species (I. dabieshanensis, I. paraguariensis, I. latifolia and I. cornuta) revealed seven divergent regions: matK-rps16, trnS-psbZ, trnT-trnL, atpB-rbcL, petB-petD, rpl14-rpl16, and rpl32-trnL. These variations might be applicable for distinguishing different species within the genus Ilex. Phylogenetic reconstruction strongly suggested that I. dabieshanensis formed a sister clade to I. cornuta and also showed a close relationship to I. latifolia. The generated chloroplast genome information in our study is significant for Ilex tea germplasm identification, phylogeny and genetic improvement.

Chloroplast genome structure in Ilex (Aquifoliaceae).

Project description:Aquifoliaceae is the largest family in the campanulid order Aquifoliales. It consists of a single genus, Ilex, the hollies, which is the largest woody dioecious genus in the angiosperms. Most species are in East Asia or South America. The taxonomy and evolutionary history remain unclear due to the lack of a robust species-level phylogeny. We produced the first complete chloroplast genomes in this family, including seven Ilex species, by Illumina sequencing of long-range PCR products and subsequent reference-guided de novo assembly. These genomes have a typical bicyclic structure with a conserved genome arrangement and moderate divergence. The total length is 157,741 bp and there is one large single-copy region (LSC) with 87,109 bp, one small single-copy with 18,436 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IR) with 52,196 bp. A total of 144 genes were identified, including 96 protein-coding genes, 40 tRNA and 8 rRNA. Thirty-four repetitive sequences were identified in Ilex pubescens, with lengths >14 bp and identity >90%, and 11 divergence hotspot regions that could be targeted for phylogenetic markers. This study will contribute to improved resolution of deep branches of the Ilex phylogeny and facilitate identification of Ilex species.

Comparative analysis of complete Ilex (Aquifoliaceae) chloroplast genomes: insights into evolutionary dynamics and phylogenetic relationships.

Project description:BackgroundIlex (Aquifoliaceae) are of great horticultural importance throughout the world for their foliage and decorative berries, yet a dearth of genetic information has hampered our understanding of phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history. Here, we compare chloroplast genomes from across Ilex and estimate phylogenetic relationships.ResultsWe sequenced the chloroplast genomes of seven Ilex species and compared them with 34 previously published Ilex plastomes. The length of the seven newly sequenced Ilex chloroplast genomes ranged from 157,182 bp to 158,009 bp, and contained a total of 118 genes, including 83 protein-coding, 31 rRNA, and four tRNA genes. GC content ranged from 37.6 to 37.69%. Comparative analysis showed shared genomic structures and gene rearrangements. Expansion and contraction of the inverted repeat regions at the LSC/IRa and IRa/SSC junctions were observed in 22 and 26 taxa, respectively; in contrast, the IRb boundary was largely invariant. A total of 2146 simple sequence repeats and 2843 large repeats were detected in the 41 Ilex plastomes. Additionally, six genes (psaC, rbcL, trnQ, trnR, trnT, and ycf1) and two intergenic spacer regions (ndhC-trnV and petN-psbM) were identified as hypervariable, and thus potentially useful for future phylogenetic studies and DNA barcoding. We recovered consistent phylogenetic relationships regardless of inference methodology or choice of loci. We recovered five distinct, major clades, which were inconsistent with traditional taxonomic systems.ConclusionOur findings challenge traditional circumscriptions of the genus Ilex and provide new insights into the evolutionary history of this important clade. Furthermore, we detail hypervariable and repetitive regions that will be useful for future phylogenetic and population genetic studies.
