The first complete mitochondrial genome of Blossom-headed Parakeet Psittacula roseata (Psittaciformes: Psittacidae).

ABSTRACT: Blossom-headed Parakeet Psittacula roseate is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species because of its habitat loss, and declining population. In this study, we first sequenced and described the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogeny of P. roseata. The whole genome of P. roseata was 16,814 bp in length, and contained 14 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosome RNA genes, and 1 non-coding control regions. The overall base composition of the mitochondrial DNA was 31.88% for A, 22.00% for T, 32.88% for C, 13.23% for G, with a GC content of 46.11%. A phylogenetic tree strongly supported that genus Psittacula closely related with genus Eclectus by highly probability.

Complete mitogenome of endemic plum-headed parakeet Psittacula cyanocephala - characterization and phylogenetic analysis.

Project description:Psittacula cyanocephala is an endemic parakeet from the Indian sub-continent that is widespread in the illegal bird trade. Previous studies on Psittacula parakeets have highlighted taxonomic ambiguities, warranting studies to resolve the issues. Since the mitochondrial genome provides useful information concerning the species evolution and phylogenetics, we sequenced the complete mitogenome of P. cyanocephala using NGS, validated 38.86% of the mitogenome using Sanger Sequencing and compared it with other available whole mitogenomes of Psittacula. The complete mitogenome of the species was 16814 bp in length with 54.08% AT composition. P. cyanocephala mitogenome comprises of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and 22 tRNAs. P. cyanocephala mitogenome organization was consistent with other Psittacula mitogenomes. Comparative codon usage analysis indicated the role of natural selection on Psittacula mitogenomes. Strong purifying selection pressure was observed maximum on nad1 and nad4l genes. The mitochondrial control region of all Psittacula species displayed the ancestral avian CR gene order. Phylogenetic analyses revealed the Psittacula genus as paraphyletic nature, containing at least 4 groups of species within the same genus, suggesting its taxonomic reconsideration. Our results provide useful information for developing forensic tests to control the illegal trade of the species and scientific basis for phylogenetic revision of the genus Psittacula.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Agapornis lilianae (Psittaciformes: Psittacidae), with its phylogenetic analysis.

Project description:In this paper, we reported the complete mitogenome of Agapornis lilianae. A. lilianae mitogenome is 16,720bp base pairs long. The overall base compositions of complete mitogenomes of A. lilianae is 29.66% A, 21.5% T, 34.59% C, 14.25% G. All genes exhibit the typical mitochondrial gene arrangement and transcribing directions. The phylogenetic analysis based on 21 mitochondrial sequence data suggested that A. lilianae are closely related to the same genus specie Agapornis roseicollis. The results obtained here would be useful for the conservation and phylogeny of A. lilianae.

The complete mitochondrial genome of yellow-bibbed lory, Lorius chlorocercus (Psittaciformes Psittacidae), with its phylogenetic relationship.

Project description:In this study, the complete 17,855 bp mitochondrial genome of Lorius chlorocercus was obtained using sanger sequencing. It consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and a control region. The overall base composition is 22.5% T, 33.18% C, 30.42% A, and13.9% G. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using neighbour-joining (NJ) method based on 19 parrot species. Phylogenetic analysis showed that L. chlorocercus was closest to Melopsittacus undulates. The complete mitogenome data would be useful for further study on the molecular evolution of L. chlorocercus.

Complete mitochondrial genome of chestnut-fronted macaw (Ara severus, Psittaciformes).

Project description:Six genera from Arini tribe form a morphologically diverse group named macaws, which differ from other Arini in the presence of bare facial area. Macaws are further distinguished by the bare face pattern, plumage colouration and body size. Six of the eight macaw species from Ara genus can be easily segregated into three pairs according to their colouration. An exception is Ara severus, which differs from others in their size and morphology. The lack of appropriate molecular markers precludes determination of its phylogenetic position. Therefore, the mitogenome of Ara severus presented in this report will be indispensable to refine these phylogenetic relationships.

Complete mitochondrial genome of bronze-winged parrot (Pionus chalcopterus chalcopterus, Psittaciformes).

Project description:Medium-sized neotropical parrots from Pionus genus are represented by at least eight species. However, their taxonomy should be revised because some external morphological characters together with genetic data recognize 19 taxa. At present, only two mitochondrial markers are available for most of these taxa and obtained phylogenies are not well resolved. Therefore, we sequenced Pionus chalcopterus chalcopterus mitogenome to gain more molecular data required for future studies of the taxonomical status and phylogenetic relationships between Pionus taxa. Performed phylogenetic analyses showed seven monophyletic clades including at least two sequences assigned to one species. However, not all subspecies sequences were monophyletic.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies of parakeet (Psittacula krameri) haemoglobin.

Project description:Birds often show efficient oxygen management in order to meet the special demands of their metabolism. However, the structural studies of avian haemoglobins (Hbs) are inadequate for complete understanding of the mechanism involved. Towards this end, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies have been carried out for parakeet Hb. Parakeet Hb was crystallized as the met form in low-salt buffered conditions after extracting haemoglobin from crude blood by microcentrifugation and purifying the sample by column chromatography. Good-quality crystals were grown from 10% PEG 3350 and a crystal diffracted to about 2.8 A resolution. Preliminary diffraction data showed that the Hb crystal belonged to the monoclinic system (space group C2), with unit-cell parameters a = 110.68, b = 64.27, c = 56.40 A, beta = 109.35 degrees . Matthews volume analysis indicated that the crystals contained a half-tetramer in the asymmetric unit.

Analysis of complete mitochondrial genome sequence of bar-tailed Treecreeper certhia himalayana (psittaciformes: Certhiidae).

Project description:Bar-tailed Treecreeper Certhia himalayana usually lives in coniferous or mixed broadleaf-conifer forests, often crawling along the trunk. In this study, we first sequenced and described the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogeny of C. himalayana. The whole genome of C. himalayana was 16,852 bp in length, and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosome RNA genes, and 1 non-coding control regions. The overall base composition of the mitochondrial DNA was 25.1% for A, 29.2% for T, 14.5% for C, 31.2% for G, with a GC content of 45.7%. A phylogenetic tree strongly supported that C. himalayana closely related with Family Troglodytidae by highly probability.

The first complete mitochondrial genome sequence from the blue-headed parrot (Pionus menstruus menstruus): a representative for the genus.

Project description:Androglossini is one of four tribes recognized within a neotropical parrot subfamily Arinae. The tribe includes 10 genera of which Pionus is represented by eight species. However, its evolutionary diversification and relationship with other Androglossini members are still unclear. Depending on studied molecular markers, Pionus is closely related with Amazona genus or two monotypic genera Alipiopsitta and Graydidascalus or the clade in which Amazona genus is sister to Alipiopsitta and Graydidascalus. Therefore, we sequenced Pionus menstruus menstruus mitogenome to gain molecular data appropriate for future studies to resolve these discrepancies obtained in various phylogenetic analyses published so far.

Complete mitochondrial genome of white-eyed parakeet (Psittacara leucophthalmus): the basal species to other Psittacara.

Project description:Recently resurrected Psittacara genus is one of the 19 recognized in parrot tribe Arini. The status of taxa within Psittacara remains controversial because some forms are treated as species or subspecies depending on authorities. Evolutionary history of Psittacara is also unclear because related phylogenetic clades contain taxa from distant and non-overlapping regions. However, the basal placement of Psittacara leucophthalmus with wide South American distribution suggests that other taxa with restricted range could emerge by a local split of larger population. We sequenced P. leucophthalmus mitogenome to increase the set of sequences required to determine taxonomic level and phylogeny of Psittacara taxa.
