Project description:Ramie (Boehmeria nivea L. Gaud) is a traditional fiber crop and important medicinal plant belonging to the family Urticaceae. In this study, we determine the complete chloroplast genome sequence of B. nivea. The assembled chloroplast genome is 156065 bp in length and shares the conserved quadripartite structure as other cp genomes in Boehmeria. The genome contains 131 genes, including 84 protein genes, 8 rRNA genes, 37 tRNA genes and 2 pseudo genes. There are 17 duplicated genes in the IR region. The overall GC content of B. nivea is 36.33%, with the highest GC content of 42.72% in IR region. A total of 67 simple sequence repeats are identified in the cp genome of B. nivea. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that B. nivea clustered together with B. tomentosa, further forming a monophyletic group with the species of Debregeasia and Pipturus. This work provides basic genetic resources for developing robust markers and investigating the population genetics diversities for B. nivea.

Project description:Salvia miltiorrhiza is an important medicinal plant with great economic and medicinal value. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Salvia miltiorrhiza, the first sequenced member of the Lamiaceae family, is reported here. The genome is 151,328 bp in length and exhibits a typical quadripartite structure of the large (LSC, 82,695 bp) and small (SSC, 17,555 bp) single-copy regions, separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 25,539 bp). It contains 114 unique genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs and four rRNAs. The genome structure, gene order, GC content and codon usage are similar to the typical angiosperm cp genomes. Four forward, three inverted and seven tandem repeats were detected in the Salvia miltiorrhiza cp genome. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) analysis among the 30 asterid cp genomes revealed that most SSRs are AT-rich, which contribute to the overall AT richness of these cp genomes. Additionally, fewer SSRs are distributed in the protein-coding sequences compared to the non-coding regions, indicating an uneven distribution of SSRs within the cp genomes. Entire cp genome comparison of Salvia miltiorrhiza and three other Lamiales cp genomes showed a high degree of sequence similarity and a relatively high divergence of intergenic spacers. Sequence divergence analysis discovered the ten most divergent and ten most conserved genes as well as their length variation, which will be helpful for phylogenetic studies in asterids. Our analysis also supports that both regional and functional constraints affect gene sequence evolution. Further, phylogenetic analysis demonstrated a sister relationship between Salvia miltiorrhiza and Sesamum indicum. The complete cp genome sequence of Salvia miltiorrhiza reported in this paper will facilitate population, phylogenetic and cp genetic engineering studies of this medicinal plant.

Project description:Sophora tonkinensis belongs to genus Sophora of the Fabaceae family. It is mainly distributed in the ridge and peak regions of limestone areas in western China and has high medicinal value and important ecological functions. Wild populations of S. tonkinensis are in danger and need urgent conservation. Furthermore, wild S. tonkinensis resources are very limited relative to the needs of the market, and many adulterants are present on the market. Therefore, a method for authenticating S. tonkinensis and its adulterants at the molecular level is needed. Chloroplast genomes are valuable sources of genetic markers for phylogenetic analyses, genetic diversity evaluation, and plant molecular identification. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast genome of S. tonkinensis. The circular complete chloroplast genome was 154,644 bp in length, containing an 85,810 bp long single-copy (LSC) region, an 18,321 bp short single-copy (SSC) region and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 50,513 bp. The S. tonkinensis chloroplast genome comprised 129 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The structure, gene order and guanine and cytosine (GC) content of the S. tonkinensis chloroplast genome were similar to those of the Sophora alopecuroides and Sophora flavescens chloroplast genomes. A total of 1,760 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified in the chloroplast genome of S. tonkinensis, and most of them (93.1%) were mononucleotides. Moreover, the identified SSRs were mainly distributed in the LSC region, accounting for 60% of the total number of SSRs, while 316 (18%) and 383 (22%) were located in the SSC and IR regions, respectively. Only one complete copy of the rpl2 gene was present at the LSC/IRB boundary, while another copy was absent from the IRA region because of the incomplete structure caused by IR region expansion and contraction. The phylogenetic analysis placed S. tonkinensis in Papilionoideae, sister to S. flavescens, and the genera Sophora and Ammopiptanthus were closely related. The complete genome sequencing and chloroplast genome comparative analysis of S. tonkinensis and its closely related species presented in this paper will help formulate effective conservation and management strategies as well as molecular identification approaches for this important medicinal plant.

Project description:The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Procris crenata C.B.Rob was reported. The cp genome was 154,124 bp in length and contained two inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,626 bp, which were separated by large single-copy and small single-copy of 84,599 bp and 18,273 bp, respectively. The GC content was 36.5%. A total of 113 functional genes were encoded, comprising 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. This is the first reported plastid genome in Procris (Urticaceae), which will be useful data for resolving the relationship within the family.

Project description:The dry root (Radix Fici Hirtae) of Ficus hirta has been used as a traditional herbal medicine in Ling nan regions of China for a long time. As its large market demand, the wild resources of F. hirta have sharply reduced. It is necessary to conduct the study of conservation genetics. However, there is still lack of complete genome information for the research on evolutionary biology, population genetics and phylogeography of this species. Here, we sequenced the complete chloroplast (CP) genome of F. hirta using Next Generation Sequencing technology (NGS). The CP genome of F. hirta is 160,374?bp in length, which contains a large single-copy (LSC) region of 88,446?bp, a small sing-copy (SSC) region of 18,134?bp, and two inverted repeat (IRa and IRb) regions of 26,897?bp. A total of 130 genes were successfully annotated containing 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis support genus Ficus is monophyletic and F. hirta is closely related to F. carica within this genus.

A total of 143 genes were annotated, including 87 protein-coding genes, 10 tRNA genes and 46 rRNA genes.
