The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Melastoma candidum (Melastomataceae).

ABSTRACT: The plant genus Melastoma is comprised of members estimated to have formed through recent species radiation. Natural hybridization among member species further complicates taxonomy within the genus. Herein, we report the complete chloroplast genome of M. candidum, assembled from partial data obtained from a parallel whole-genome Illumina paired-end sequencing effort on the species. The chloroplast genome was 156,682?bp in length, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,084?bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,094?bp, separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,752?bp each. It was predicted to contain a total of 129 genes, with an overall GC content of 37.17%. Phylogenetic analysis placed M. candidum in the same clade as species within the Melastomeae tribe of Melastomataceae.

The re-sequencing and re-assembly of complete chloroplast genome of Melastoma dodecandrum (Melastomataceae) from Fujian, China.

Project description:The plant genus Melastoma of the family Melastomataceae is comprised of nine species and one variety in China. Melastoma dodecandrum is the only creeping species of this genus. Previous study has reported the complete chloroplast genome of M. dodecandrum from Guangzhou, China, but there may be some differences between plant populations from different regions. Herein, we reported the complete chloroplast genome of M. dodecandrum from Fuzhou, China, which was assembled from Pacbio and whole genome data was sequenced. The sequence has a circular molecular length of 156,598 bp and contained 129 genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that M. dodecandrum was closely related to M. candidum in Melastomataceae. The study aims to provide insights for the future studies on the differences in molecular evolution level between plant populations of M. dodecandrum and taxonomy of Melastoma.

Structure and features of the complete chloroplast genome of Melastoma dodecandrum.

Project description:Melastoma dodecandrum, the only creeping species in the Melastoma genus, serves as a medicinal herb in southeast China. It belongs to the huge family Melastomataceae, which contains over 5000 species worldwide. In this study, we used next-generation sequencing to determine the complete chloroplast genome sequences of M. dodecandrum, which is a circular molecule of 156,611 bp in length. After annotation, we identified 131 putative genes in total, comprised of 85 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNA genes and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. Genome structure, GC content, repeat sequences and codon usage were investigated to gain a comprehensive understanding of this genome. Furthermore, we conducted comparative genome analyses between the M. dodecandrum genome and that of four other Melastomataceae species. Additionally, a phylogenetic analysis was performed based on available chloroplast genomes of Melastomataceae species and several Myrtaceae species, revealing the taxonomic relationships between M. dodecandrum and related species. In conclusion, our study represents the first look into the complete chloroplast genome of M. dodecandrum, providing abundant information for further studies such as species identification, taxonomy and phylogenetic resolution of Melastomataceae species.

Chromosomal-level genome assembly of Melastoma candidum provides insights into trichome evolution.

Project description:Melastoma, consisting of ~100 species diversified in tropical Asia and Oceania in the past 1-2 million years, represents an excellent example of rapid speciation in flowering plants. Trichomes on hypanthia, twigs and leaves vary markedly among species of this genus and are the most important diagnostic traits for species identification. These traits also play critical roles in contributing to differential adaptation of these species to their own habitats. Here we sequenced the genome of M. candidum, a common, erect-growing species from southern China, with the aim to provide genomic insights into trichome evolution in this genus. We generated a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly of M. candidum, with the genome size of 256.2 Mb and protein-coding gene number of 40,938. The gene families specific to, and significantly expanded in Melastoma are enriched for GO terms related to trichome initiation and differentiation. We provide evidence that Melastoma and its sister genus Osbeckia have undergone two whole genome duplications (WGDs) after the triplication event (γ) shared by all core eudicots. Preferential retention of trichome development-related transcription factor genes such as C2H2, bHLH, HD-ZIP, WRKY, and MYB after both WGDs might provide raw materials for trichome evolution and thus contribute to rapid species diversification in Melastoma. Our study provides candidate transcription factor genes related to trichome evolution in Melastoma, which can be used to evolutionary and functional studies of trichome diversification among species of this genus.

The specific status of Melastoma kudoi (Melastomataceae, Melastomeae).

Project description:BACKGROUND:Melastoma has undergone rapid species radiation during the last one million years, and circumscription of some species in the genus has remained controversial. Melastoma kudoi, an erect species narrowly endemic to central Taiwan was previously treated as a synonym of M. intermedium, a semicreeping hybrid between the erect species M. candidum and the creeping M. dodecandrum, making its identity questionable. We addressed this question based on molecular and morphological data. RESULTS:Phylogenetic analyses based on nrITS sequence data revealed that M. kudoi is most closely related to M. dodecandrum. Further analyses of six nuclear genes (cam, chi, gapC, gbss, tpi and vr) and two chloroplast markers (trnL-trnF and psbA) showed that M. kudoi is well diverged from its close relatives. Morphologically, it is also easily distinguished from related species by its erect habit, center-positioned stigma, and spreading, basally enlarged hairs on the hypanthium. CONCLUSIONS:Both molecular phylogenetic and morphological data suggest that M. kudoi is well separated from M. intermedium, M. dodecandrum, and O. scaberrima, and should be treated as a distinct species. Taxonomic treatment and detailed description of M. kudoi are provided.
