The complete chloroplast genome and phylogeny of Artemisia selengensis in Dongting Lake.

ABSTRACT: Artemisia selengensis Turcz (Louhao in Chinese) is a widely used health food and a well-known traditional Chinese medicine. However, only a small part of the chloroplast genome data of Artemisia has been reported and there was no report for A. selengensis. In this study, we presented the complete chloroplast genome of A. selengensis and analysed its phylogenetic relationship with other 28 related species belonging to the Asteraceae family. The result showed that the whole genome was 151 215?bp in length with a typical conserved quadripartite structure. The total GC content of whole genome, LSC, SSC, and IRa/IRb regions was 37.46, 35.55, 30.81, and 43.09%, respectively. A total of 133 genes were identified, including 88 protein-coding, 37 transfer RNA, and eight ribosome RNA genes. Among these genes, nineteen genes contained a single intron and two genes contained two introns. The phylogenetic relationship showed that A. selengensis was similar to A. gmelinii. The complete chloroplast genome presented here will enrich the genetic resources of medicinal plant and promote our understanding of the phylogeny of Artemisia within the Asteraceae family.

Project description:BackgroundArtemisia frigida Willd. is an important Mongolian traditional medicinal plant with pharmacological functions of stanch and detumescence. However, there is little sequence and genomic information available for Artemisia frigida, which makes phylogenetic identification, evolutionary studies, and genetic improvement of its value very difficult. We report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Artemisia frigida based on 454 pyrosequencing.Methodology/principal findingsThe complete chloroplast genome of Artemisia frigida is 151,076 bp including a large single copy (LSC) region of 82,740 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,394 bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 24,971 bp. The genome contains 114 unique genes and 18 duplicated genes. The chloroplast genome of Artemisia frigida contains a small 3.4 kb inversion within a large 23 kb inversion in the LSC region, a unique feature in Asteraceae. The gene order in the SSC region of Artemisia frigida is inverted compared with the other 6 Asteraceae species with the chloroplast genomes sequenced. This inversion is likely caused by an intramolecular recombination event only occurred in Artemisia frigida. The existence of rich SSR loci in the Artemisia frigida chloroplast genome provides a rare opportunity to study population genetics of this Mongolian medicinal plant. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrates a sister relationship between Artemisia frigida and four other species in Asteraceae, including Ageratina adenophora, Helianthus annuus, Guizotia abyssinica and Lactuca sativa, based on 61 protein-coding sequences. Furthermore, Artemisia frigida was placed in the tribe Anthemideae in the subfamily Asteroideae (Asteraceae) based on ndhF and trnL-F sequence comparisons.ConclusionThe chloroplast genome sequence of Artemisia frigida was assembled and analyzed in this study, representing the first plastid genome sequenced in the Anthemideae tribe. This complete chloroplast genome sequence will be useful for molecular ecology and molecular phylogeny studies within Artemisia species and also within the Asteraceae family.
