Complete chloroplast genome of glyphosate resistant Sonchus oleraceus L. from Australia, with notes on the small single copy (SSC) region orientation.

ABSTRACT: Sonchus oleraceus, common sowthistle, is an asteraceous weed in Australian agricultural systems and has recently developed resistance to glyphosate. We present the complete chloroplast sequence of S. oleracueus reconstructed from Illumina whole genome shotgun sequencing. This is the first complete chloroplast genome available for the genus Sonchus. The complete chloroplast sequence is 151,808?bp long. A Bayesian phylogeny of the chloroplast coding regions of the tribe Cichorieae (Asteraceae) is presented. The S. oleraceus chloroplast genome is deposited at GenBank under accession number MG878405.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia generally associated with oxidative stress. The present study aims at evaluating the antioxidant and antidiabetic potential of methanol and hydroethanol extracts of the stem bark and leaves of Pricralima nitida and the Sonchus oleraceus whole plant respectively.MethodsThe in vitro antioxidant activity was assessed using 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrilhydrazyl (DPPH) for free radical-scavenging properties of the extracts, and the Folin-Ciocalteu method in determining their phenol contents. The antidiabetic activity was tested in mice following streptozotocin diabetes induction, and selected oxidative stress markers (Malondialdehyde, Hydrogen peroxides and Catalase) were measured in order to evaluate the level of oxidative stress in treated animals.ResultsThe in vitro antioxidant activity using DPPH showed IC50 ranging from 0.19?±?0.08 to 1.00?±?0.06 mg/mL. The highest activity was obtained with the hydroethanol extracts of S. oleraceus (0.19 mg/mL and P. nitida (0.24 mg/mL). Polyphenol contents ranged from 182.25?±?16.76 to 684.62?±?46.66 ?g Eq Cat/g. The methanol extract of P. nitida showed the highest activity, followed by the hydroethanol extract of S. oleraceus (616.89?±?19.20 ?Eq Cat/g). The hydroethanol extract of whole plants (150 mg/Kg) and methanol leave extract of P. nitida (300 mg/Kg) exhibited significant antidiabetic activities with 39.40% and 38.48% glycaemia reduction, respectively. The measurement of stress markers in plasma, liver and kidney after administration of both extracts showed significant reduction in MDA and hydrogen peroxide levels, coupled with a substantial increase in catalase activity.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that S. oleraceus whole plant and P. nitida leaves possess both antidiabetic and antioxidant properties, and therefore could be used as starting point for the development of herbal medicines and/or source of new drug molecules against diabetes.
