Genome-Scale Phylogenetic and Population Genetic Studies Provide Insight Into Introgression and Adaptive Evolution of Takifugu Species in East Asia.

ABSTRACT: As a typical marine adaptive radiation species, most Takifugu species are widely distributed in East Asian offshore, which have diversified morphological characteristics and different ecological habits. The phylogenetic relationship and population structure of the Takifugu species was complicated because of incomplete lineage sorting, widespread hybridization and introgression. Therefore, to systematically clarify the phylogenetic relationships of Takifugu genus, explore the introgression and natural hybridization between different Takifugu species, and detect the selective signatures in the adaptive evolution of diversified traits, whole-genome resequencing was used in 122 Takifugu samples from 10 species. Phylogenetic analysis showed solid sister-group relationships between Takifugu bimaculatus and Takifugu flavidus, Takifugu oblongus, and Takifugu niphobles, Takifugu rubripes, and Takifugu obscurus, Takifugu xanthoptreus, and Takifugu ocellatus. Further admixture analysis indicated the divergence of T. obscurus population and the bidirectional gene flow between T. bimaculatus and T. flavidus. Using species-specific homozygous genetic variance sites, we detected the asymmetric introgression between T. bimaculatus and T. flavidus at China East sea and southern Taiwan Strait. By genome-scale genetic diversity scanning, we detected two copies of syt1, zar1 and tgfbr1 related to the semilunar reproduction rhythm in T. niphobles, involved in memory formation, embryo maturation and female reproduction. Furthermore, we also found lots of T. niphobles specific mutations in CDS region of circadian rhythm related genes and endocrine hormone genes. For Takifugu species, our research provides reliable genetic resources and results for the phylogeny, introgression, hybridization and adaptive evolution, and could be used as a guide for the formulation of the protection and proliferation release policies.

Project description:Background and Aims:Salvia is the largest genus within Lamiaceae, with about 980 species currently recognized. East Asia, with approx. 100 species, is one of the three major biodiversity centres of Salvia. However, relationships within this lineage remain unclear, and the staminal lever mechanism, which may represent a key innovation within the genus, has been understudied. By using six genetic markers and nearly comprehensive taxon sampling, this study attempts to elucidate relationships and examine evolutionary trends of staminal development within the East Asia (EA) Salvia clade. Methods:Ninety-one taxa of EA Salvia were sampled and 34 taxa representing all other major lineages of Salvia were included for analysis. Two nuclear [internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and external transcribed spacer (ETS)] and four chloroplast (psbA-trnH, ycf1-rps15, trnL-trnF and rbcL) DNA markers were used for phylogenetic analysis employing maximum parsimony (MP), maximum likelihood (ML) and BEAST, with the latter also used to estimate divergence times. Key Results:All Salvia species native to East Asia form a clade, and eight major subclades (A-G) were recognized. Subclade A, comprising two limestone endemics (S. sonchifolia and S. petrophila), is sister to the remainder of EA Salvia. Six distinct stamen types were observed within the EA clade. Stamen type A, with two fully fertile posterior thecae, only occurs in S. sonchifolia and may represent the ancestral stamen type within EA Salvia. Divergence time estimates showed that the crown of EA Salvia began to diversify approx. 17.4 million years ago. Conclusions:This study supports the adoption of a broadly defined Salvia and treats EA Salvia as a subgenus, Glutinaria, recognizing eight sections within this subgenus. Stamen type A is ostensibly plesiomorphic within EA Salvia, and the other five types may have been derived from it. Staminal morphology has evolved in parallel within the EA Salvia, and staminal structure alone is inadequate to delimit infrageneric categories.

Project description:BackgroundCarassius auratus is a primary freshwater fish with bisexual diploid and unisexual gynogenetic triploid lineages. It is distributed widely in Eurasia and is especially common in East Asia. Although several genetic studies have been conducted on C. auratus, they have not provided clear phylogenetic and evolutionary descriptions of this fish, probably due to selection bias in sampling sites and the DNA regions analysed. As the first step in clarifying the evolutionary entity of the world's Carassius fishes, we attempted to clarify the phylogeny of C. auratus populations distributed in East Asia.ResultsWe conducted a detailed analysis of a large dataset of mitochondrial gene sequences [CR, 323 bp, 672 sequences (528 sequenced + 144 downloaded); CR + ND4 + ND5 + cyt b, 4669 bp in total, 53 sequences] obtained from C. auratus in East Asia. Our phylogeographic analysis revealed two superlineages, one distributed mainly among the Japanese main islands and the other in various regions in and around the Eurasian continent, including the Ryukyus and Taiwan. The two superlineages include seven lineages with high regional specificity that are composed of endemic populations indigenous to each region. The divergence time of the seven lineages was estimated to be 0.2 million years ago (Mya) by a fossil-based method and 1.0-1.9 Mya by the molecular clock method. The antiquity and endemism of these lineages suggest that they are native to their respective regions, although some seem to have been affected by the artificial introduction of C. auratus belonging to other lineages. Triploids of C. auratus did not form a monophyletic lineage but were clustered mostly with sympatric diploids.ConclusionsThe results of the present study revealed the existence of two superlineages of C. auratus in East Asia that include seven lineages endemic to each of the seven regions examined. The lack of substantial genetic separation between triploids and diploids indicates that triploids are not composed of a single independent lineage. The ancient origins and evolutionary uniqueness of the seven lineages warrant their conservation. An overall phylogenetic framework obtained from the present study will be of use for estimating the phylogenetic relationships of Carassius fishes on the Eurasian continent.
