The complete chloroplast genome of the endangered species Cephalotaxus hainanensis (Cephalotaxaceae).

ABSTRACT: Cephalotaxus hainanensis is an endangered tree endemic to China with high medicinal values. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of C. hainanensis was de novo assembled using Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology. The whole chloroplast genome was 136,877?bp long with an asymmetric base composition (32.6% A, 17.6% C, 17.4% G and 32.4% T). The genome annotation predicted a total of 114 genes, including 82 protein-coding genes, 28 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The neighbour-joining phylogenetic analysis based on 41 complete chloroplast genome sequences showed that C. hainanensis was more closely related to the congeneric C. sinensis. The assembled chloroplast genome of C. hainanensis will provide useful genomic data both for the phylogenetic research of Cephalotaxus and the conservation of this endangered species.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Cephalotaxus oliveri (Cephalotaxaceae): evolutionary comparison of cephalotaxus chloroplast DNAs and insights into the loss of inverted repeat copies in gymnosperms.

Project description:We have determined the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Cephalotaxus oliveri. The genome is 134,337 bp in length, encodes 113 genes, and lacks inverted repeat (IR) regions. Genome-wide mutational dynamics have been investigated through comparative analysis of the cp genomes of C. oliveri and C. wilsoniana. Gene order transformation analyses indicate that when distinct isomers are considered as alternative structures for the ancestral cp genome of cupressophyte and Pinaceae lineages, it is not possible to distinguish between hypotheses favoring retention of the same IR region in cupressophyte and Pinaceae cp genomes from a hypothesis proposing independent loss of IRA and IRB. Furthermore, in cupressophyte cp genomes, the highly reduced IRs are replaced by short repeats that have the potential to mediate homologous recombination, analogous to the situation in Pinaceae. The importance of repeats in the mutational dynamics of cupressophyte cp genomes is also illustrated by the accD reading frame, which has undergone extreme length expansion in cupressophytes. This has been caused by a large insertion comprising multiple repeat sequences. Overall, we find that the distribution of repeats, indels, and substitutions is significantly correlated in Cephalotaxus cp genomes, consistent with a hypothesis that repeats play a role in inducing substitutions and indels in conifer cp genomes.

Project description:Madhuca hainanensis Chun & F.C.How is an endangered and endemic species in Hainan Island, and it was ranked as a VU (Vulnerable) species in China. In this study, we reported its complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence based on high throughput sequencing data. The complete cp genome was 159,630 bp in length, containing two short inverted repeat (IRs) of 26,093 bp, a large single copy (LSC) region of 88,846 bp and a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,598 bp. Totally, the cp genome contained 131 genes, including 86 protein coding genes (PCG), eight rRNA genes and 37 tRNAs. The GC contents of this genome was 36.8%. A maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis indicates that M. hainanensis is closely related to Sinosideroxylon wightianum.

Testing the Complete Plastome for Species Discrimination, Cryptic Species Discovery and Phylogenetic Resolution in Cephalotaxus (Cephalotaxaceae).

Project description:Species of Cephalotaxus have great economic and ecological values. However, the taxonomy and interspecific phylogenetic relationships within the genus have been controversial and remained not fully resolved until now. To date, no study examined the efficiency of the complete plastome as super-barcode across Cephalotaxus species with multiple samples per taxon. In this study, we have evaluated the complete plastome in species discrimination and phylogenetic resolution in Cephalotaxus by including 32 individuals of all eight recognized species and five varieties following Farjon's classification (2010) with multiple samples per taxon. Our results indicated that not all species recognized in recent taxonomic revisions of Cephalotaxus could be distinguished and not all were monophyletic. Based on the plastome phylogeny, a new taxonomic classification for the genus comprising nine species and two varieties, including a cryptic species, was proposed. The phylogeny also resolved all interspecific relationships. Compared to the plastome based classification, standard DNA barcodes, alone or in combination, only recognized a maximum of seven out of the nine species. Moreover, two highly variable single loci, ycf1 and rps16, each alone achieved full species discrimination. With the moderate length of 1079 bp, rps16 is proposed as a specific barcode to discriminate Cephalotaxus species. The super-barcodes and specific barcode candidates will aid in the identification of endangered Cephalotaxus species, and to help focus conservation measures.

Complete chloroplast genome sequences of two endangered Phoebe (Lauraceae) species.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Phoebe (Lauraceae) comprises of evergreen trees or shrubs with approximately 100 species, distributed in tropical and subtropical Asia and Neotropical America. A total of 34 species and three varieties occur in China. Despite of economic and ecological value, only limited genomic resources are available for this genus. RESULTS:We sequenced the two complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of Phoebe chekiangensis and P. bournei using Illumina sequencing technology via a combined strategy of de novo and reference-guided assembly. We also performed comparative analyses with the cp genomes of P. sheareri and P. sheareri var. oineiensis previously reported. The chloroplast genomes of P. chekiangensis and P. bournei identically contain 112 genes consisting of 78 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes, with the size of 152,849 and 152,853 bp, respectively. From the two chloroplast genomes, 131 SSRs were identified and 12 different SSRs located in five protein coding genes. The analysis showed the extremely conserved structure of chloroplast genomes with surprisingly little variations at the LSC/IR and SSC/IR boundaries. Moreover, the mean nucleotide diversity was found to be 0.162% for 77 regions, suggesting an extraordinarily low level of sequence divergence. Four highest divergent regions (trnH-psbA, rps14-trnT, petA-psbJ, ccsA-ndhD) with the percentage of nucleotide diversity higher than 0.50% were identified, which had potential use for species identification and phylogenetic studies. CONCLUSION:This study will facilitate our understanding of population genetics, phylogenetic relationship and plant evolution of Phoebe species.

Plastome phylogenomics of Cephalotaxus (Cephalotaxaceae) and allied genera.

Project description:Background and aimsCephalotaxus is a paleo-endemic genus in East Asia that consists of about 7-9 conifer species. Despite its great economic and ecological importance, the relationships between Cephalotaxus and related genera, as well as the interspecific relationships within Cephalotaxus, have long been controversial, resulting in contrasting taxonomic proposals in delimitation of Cephalotaxaceae and Taxaceae. Based on plastome data, this study aims to reconstruct a robust phylogeny to infer the systematic placement and the evolutionary history of Cephalotaxus.MethodsA total of 11 plastomes, representing all species currently recognized in Cephalotaxus and two Torreya species, were sequenced and assembled. Combining these with previously published plastomes, we reconstructed a phylogeny of Cephalotaxaceae and Taxaceae with nearly full taxonomic sampling. Under a phylogenetic framework and molecular dating, the diversification history of Cephalotaxus and allied genera was explored.Key resultsPhylogenetic analyses of 81 plastid protein-coding genes recovered robust relationships between Cephalotaxus and related genera, as well as providing a well-supported resolution of interspecific relationships within Cephalotaxus, Taxus, Torreya and Amentotaxus. Divergence time estimation indicated that most extant species of these genera are relatively young, although fossil and other molecular evidence consistently show that these genera are ancient plant lineages.ConclusionsOur results justify the taxonomic proposal that recognizes Cephalotaxaceae as a monotypic family, and contribute to a clear-cut delineation between Cephalotaxaceae and Taxaceae. Given that extant species of Cephalotaxus are derived from recent divergence events associated with the establishment of monsoonal climates in East Asia and Pleistocene climatic fluctuations, they are not evolutionary relics.
