The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the Citrullus lanatus L. Subsp. Vulgaris (Cucurbitaceae).

ABSTRACT: Watermelon is one of the worldwide popular summer fruits and well-known for colourful, sweet, and juicy flesh. The complete nucleotide sequence of cultivated watermelon (Citrullus lanatus L. subsp. vulgaris) chloroplast genome has been determined in this study. The genome was composed of 156,906?bp containing a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,082?bp, which was separated by a large single-copy region of 70,063?bp and a small single-copy region of 17,895?bp. A total of 114 genes were predicted included 80 protein-coding genes, four rRNA genes, and 30 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that C. lanatus and other three species belonging to the genus Cucumis were closely clustered into a clade, the family Cucurbitaceae.

Insights into the evolution of mitochondrial genome size from complete sequences of Citrullus lanatus and Cucurbita pepo (Cucurbitaceae).

Project description:The mitochondrial genomes of seed plants are unusually large and vary in size by at least an order of magnitude. Much of this variation occurs within a single family, the Cucurbitaceae, whose genomes range from an estimated 390 to 2,900 kb in size. We sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of Citrullus lanatus (watermelon: 379,236 nt) and Cucurbita pepo (zucchini: 982,833 nt)--the two smallest characterized cucurbit mitochondrial genomes--and determined their RNA editing content. The relatively compact Citrullus mitochondrial genome actually contains more and longer genes and introns, longer segmental duplications, and more discernibly nuclear-derived DNA. The large size of the Cucurbita mitochondrial genome reflects the accumulation of unprecedented amounts of both chloroplast sequences (>113 kb) and short repeated sequences (>370 kb). A low mutation rate has been hypothesized to underlie increases in both genome size and RNA editing frequency in plant mitochondria. However, despite its much larger genome, Cucurbita has a significantly higher synonymous substitution rate (and presumably mutation rate) than Citrullus but comparable levels of RNA editing. The evolution of mutation rate, genome size, and RNA editing are apparently decoupled in Cucurbitaceae, reflecting either simple stochastic variation or governance by different factors.

Senecio vulgaris was closely related to Jacobaea vulgaris in same subfamily resulting from phylogenetic analysis.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Gynostemma microspermum (Cucurbitaceae).

Project description:Gynostemma microspermum C. Y. Wu et S. K. Chen is an endemic creeping herbaceous species mainly distributed in dense forests on limestone in northwestern China. Here, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of G. microspermum was obtained by Illumina pair-end sequencing. The circular complete chloroplast genome of G. microspermum is 158,692 bp in length and contains a large single copy region (87,452 bp), a small single copy region (19,068 bp) and two short inverted repeat regions (26,086 bp). The genome sequence encodes 133 genes including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes and 1 pseudogene. The maximum likelihood (ML) phylogeny estimation shows that G. microspermum is sister to all other analyzed species of the genus Gynostemma with high bootstrap support.

Population structure and genetic diversity of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) based on SNP of chloroplast genome.

Project description:Citrullus amarus (citronmelon) is an important crop with resistance to many diseases. The chloroplast genome is important in studying the genetic evolution of plants. The C. amarus chloroplast genome was first reported in this study using a novel assembly method based on whole genome sequencing. We identified 82 SNP sites in chloroplast genome with 313 watermelon materials. The 82 SNPs could effectively divide the natural watermelon population into four groups: C. lanatus subsp. lanatus, C. lanatus subsp. mucosospermus, C. lanatus subsp. vulgaris (ecologically from the Americas) and C. lanatus subsp. vulgaris (ecologically from Asia), with decreasing genetic diversity (π) (6.6 × 10-5, 2.4 × 10-5, 9.8 × 10-6 and 5.41 × 10-6, respectively). The single fruit weight, soluble solids, fruit color and 1000-seed weight of C. lanatus subsp. lanatus were significantly different from those of the other three groups. These results indicate that the complete chloroplast genome can be used in studying population genetics of watermelon, which is helpful for classification among intra species subgroups and identification of core germplasm resources.
