Project description:In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing technology to sequence and functionally annotate the chloroplast genome of Piptanthus concolor. The total length of P. concolor chloroplast genome is 152,115 bp with the typical quadripartite structure. It contains two inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) of 26,233 bp each, which are separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region of 82,024 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,625 bp. The cp genome contained 111 genes, including 77 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on the whole chloroplast genome showed that P. concolor was closely related to Ammopiptanthus.

Project description:Allium mongolicum Regel is a wild and sandy vegetable with unique flavours. In this study, a complete chloroplast (cp) genome of A. mongolicum was obtained (Genbank accession number: OM630416), and contained 153,609 base pairs with the GC ratio as 36.8%. 130 genes were annotated including 84 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes. The large single-copy (LSC) region was 82,644 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region was 18,049 bp, which were separated by two inverted repeats (IRs, including IRa and IRb) of 26,458 bp. Comparative genome analyses of 55 Allium species suggested that genomic structure of genus Allium was conserved, and LSC and SSC regions were outstanding with high variability. Among them, more divergent loci were in the SSC region covering ycf1-rrn4.5 and ndhF-ccsA. Phylogenetic analysis on cp genomes of 55 Allium determined that all members were clustered into 13 clades, and A. mongolicum had close relationship with A. senescens. Corresponding analyses of four protein-coding genes (ycf1, ndhF, rpl32, and ccsA) in aforementioned divergent loci confirmed that ycf1 was finally chosen as the candidate gene for species identification and evolutionary classification of genus Allium. These data provide valuable genetic resources for future research on Allium.

Project description:The complete chloroplast genome of Wonwhang (BioSample SAMN05196235), Pyrus pyrifolia, was assembled and analyzed by de novo assembly using whole-genome sequencing data. The accession NC_015996 was used as a reference sequence in this study. The total chloroplast genome size of the Wonwhang was 159,922 bp in length, including a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 26,392 bp that are separated by a large single-copy region of 72,023 bp and a small single-copy region of 19,235 bp. A total of 132 genes, including 93 protein-coding genes, 31 tRNA genes and eight rRNA genes, were predicted from the chloroplast genomes. Among them, 18 genes occur in IRs, containing nine protein-coding genes, five tRNA genes and four rRNA genes. The GC content of Wonwhang chloroplast genome is 36.6%. The phylogenetic analysis with nine Rosids species and three other species revealed that Wonwhang was clustered with Malus genus.

Project description:The genus Paris in the broad concept is an economically important group in the monocotyledonous family Melanthiaceae (tribe Parideae). The phylogeny of Paris was controversial in previous morphology-based classification and molecular phylogeny. Here, the complete cp genomes of eleven Paris taxa were sequenced, to better understand the evolutionary relationships among these plants and the mutation patterns in their chloroplast (cp) genomes. Comparative analyses indicated that the overall cp genome structure among the Paris taxa is quite similar. The triplication of trnI-CAU was found only in the cp genomes of P. quadrifolia and P. verticillata. Phylogenetic analyses based on the complete cp genomes did not resolve Paris as a monophyletic group, instead providing evidence supporting division of the twelve taxa into two segregate genera: Paris sensu strict and Daiswa. The sister relationship between Daiswa and Trillium was well supported. We recovered two fully supported lineages with divergent distribution in Daiswa; however, none of the previously recognized sections in Daiswa was resolved as monophyletic using plastome data, suggesting that the infrageneric relationships and biogeography of Daiswa species require further investigation. Ten highly divergent DNA regions, suitable for species identification, were detected among the 12 cp genomes. This study is the first successful attempt to provide well-supported evolutionary relationships in Paris based on phylogenomic analyses. The findings highlight the potential of the whole cp genomes for improving resolution in phylogeny as well as species identification in phylogenetically and taxonomically difficult plant genera.

Project description:Salvia is widely used as medicine, food, and ornamental plants all over the world, with three main distribution centers, the Central and western Asia/Mediterranean (CAM), the East Aisa (EA), and the Central and South America (CASA). Along with its large number of species and world-wide distribution, Salvia is paraphyletic with multiple diversity. Chloroplast genomes (CPs) are useful tools for analyzing the phylogeny of plants at lower taxonomic levels. In this study, we reported chloroplast genomes of five species of Salvia and performed phylogenetic analysis with current available CPs of Salvia. Repeated sequence analysis and comparative analysis of Salvia CPs were also performed with representative species from different distribution centers. The results showed that the genetic characters of the CPs are related to the geographic distribution of plants. Species from CAM diverged first to form a separate group, followed by species from EA, and finally species from CASA. Larger variations of CPs were observed in species from CAM, whereas more deficient sequences and less repeated sequences in the CPs were observed in species from CASA. These results provide valuable information on the development and utilization of the worldwide genetic resources of Salvia.

Project description:BackgroundFerula L. is one of the largest and most taxonomically complicated genera as well as being an important medicinal plant resource in the family Apiaceae. To investigate the plastome features and phylogenetic relationships of Ferula and its neighboring genera Soranthus Ledeb., Schumannia Kuntze., and Talassia Korovin, we sequenced 14 complete plastomes of 12 species. RESULTS: The size of the 14 complete chloroplast genomes ranged from 165,607 to 167,013 base pairs (bp) encoding 132 distinct genes (87 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes), and showed a typical quadripartite structure with a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions. Based on comparative analysis, we found that the 14 plastomes were similar in codon usage, repeat sequence, simple sequence repeats (SSRs), and IR borders, and had significant collinearity. Based on our phylogenetic analyses, Soranthus, Schumannia, and Talassia should be considered synonymous with Ferula. Six highly divergent regions (rps16/trnQ-UUG, trnS-UGA/psbZ, psbH/petB, ycf1/ndhF, rpl32, and ycf1) were also detected, which may represent potential molecular markers, and combined with selective pressure analysis, the weak positive selection gene ccsA may be a discriminating DNA barcode for Ferula species.ConclusionPlastids contain abundant informative sites for resolving phylogenetic relationships. Combined with previous studies, we suggest that there is still much room for improvement in the classification of Ferula. Overall, our study provides new insights into the plastome evolution, phylogeny, and taxonomy of this genus.

Project description:To evaluate the phylogenetic relationships between Hylotelephium and Orostachys, and to provide important information for further studies, we analyzed the complete chloroplast genomes of six Hylotelephium species and compared the sequences to those of published chloroplast genomes of congeneric species and species of the closely related genus, Orostachys. The total chloroplast genome length of nineteen species, including the six Hylotelephium species analyzed in this study and the thirteen Hylotelephium and Orostachys species analyzed in previous studies, ranged from 150,369 bp (O. minuta) to 151,739 bp (H. spectabile). Their overall GC contents were almost identical (37.7-37.8%). The chloroplast genomes of the nineteen species contained 113 unique genes comprising 79 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 30 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and four ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). Among the annotated genes, fourteen genes contained one intron, and two genes contained two introns. The chloroplast genomes of the nineteen Hylotelephium and Orostachys species had identical structures. Additionally, the large single copy (LSC), inverted repeat (IR), and small single copy (SSC) junction regions were conserved in the Hylotelephium and Orostachys species. The nucleotide diversity between the Hylotelephium chloroplast genomes was extremely low in all regions, and only one region showed a high Pi value (>0.03). In all nineteen chloroplast genomes, six regions had a high Pi value (>0.03). The phylogenetic analysis showed that the genus delimitation could not be clearly observed even in this study because Hylotelephium formed a paraphyly with subsect. Orostachys of the genus Orostachys. Additionally, the data supported the taxonomic position of Sedum taqeutii, which was treated as a synonym for H. viridescens in previous studies, as an independent taxon.

Project description:The genus Allium is one of the largest monocotyledonous genera, containing over 850 species, and most of these species are found in temperate climates of the Northern Hemisphere. Furthermore, as a large number of new Allium species continue to be identified, phylogenetic classification based on morphological characteristics and a few genetic markers will gradually exhibit extremely low discriminatory power. In this study, we present the use of complete chloroplast genome sequences in genome-scale phylogenetic studies of Allium. We sequenced and assembled four Allium chloroplast genomes and retrieved five published chloroplast genomes from GenBank. All nine chloroplast genomes were used for genomic comparison and phylogenetic inference. The chloroplast genomes, ranging from 152,387 bp to 154,482 bp in length, exhibited conservation of genomic structure, and gene organization and order. Subsequently, we observed the expansion of IRs from the basal monocot Acorus americanus to Allium, identified 814 simple sequence repeats, 131 tandem repeats, 154 dispersed repeats and 109 palindromic repeats, and found six highly variable regions. The phylogenetic relationships of the Allium species inferred from the chloroplast genomes obtained high support, indicating that chloroplast genome data will be useful for further resolution of the phylogeny of the genus Allium.

Project description:In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Tradescantia pallida (Rose) D.R.Hunt was investigated. The whole chloroplast genome sequence is 166,086 bp in length, which consists of a 94,376 bp large single copy (LSC) and an 18,678 bp small single copy (SSC) regions, separated by a pair of 26,518 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The chloroplast genome of T. pallida encodes 131 annotated known unique genes including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast genome sequences demonstrated that T. pallida is most closely related to Belosynapsis ciliate.

Project description:BackgroundAconitum transsectum Diels. (Ranunculaceae) is an important medicinal plant that is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, but its morphological traits make it difficult to recognize from other Aconitum species. No research has sequenced the chloroplast genome of A.transsectum, despite the fact that phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast genome sequences provides essential evidence for plant classification.ResultsIn this study, the chloroplast (cp) genome of A. transsectum was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. A. transsectum cp genome is a 155,872 bp tetrameric structure including a large single copy (LSC, 87,671 bp) and a small single copy (SSC, 18,891 bp) section, as well as a pair of inverted repeat sequences (IRa and IRb, 25,894 bp each). 131 genes are encoded by the complete cp genome, comprising 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNAs, and 8 rRNAs. The most favored codon in the A. transsectum cp genome is AUG, and 46 repeats and 241 SSRs were also identified. The A. transsectum cp genome is similar in size, gene composition, and IR expansion and contraction to the cp genomes of seven Ranunculaceae species. Phylogenetic analysis of cp genomes of 28 plants from the Ranunculaceae family shows that A. transsectum is most closely related to A. vilmorinianum, A. episcopale, and A. forrestii of Subgen. Aconitum.ConclusionsOverall, this study provides complete cp genome resources for A. transsectum that will be beneficial for identifying potential.
