The complete chloroplast genome of Castanea mollissima 'Chuizhili'.

ABSTRACT: The Castanea mollissima 'Chuizhili' is an important variety of C. mollissima in breeding for dwarf chestnut and ornamental trees due to the weeping characteristic in China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of C. mollissima 'Chuizhili' was identified and sequenced by using Illumina sequencing data. The genome size is 160,799 bp, with a large single-copy (LSC, 90,430 bp) region, a small single-copy (SSC, 18,997 bp) region, and separated by a pair of 25,686 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. A total of 130 genes are successfully annotated, including 83 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 2 pseudo-genes. The phylogenetic relationships revealed that C. mollissima 'Chuizhili' is closely related to Castanea henryi in Fagaceae.

Construction of Pseudomolecules for the Chinese Chestnut (Castanea mollissima) Genome.

Project description:The Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima Bl.) is a woody nut crop with a high ecological value. Although many cultivars have been selected from natural seedlings, elite lines with comprehensive agronomic traits and characters remain rare. To explore genetic resources with aid of whole genome sequence will play important roles in modern breeding programs for chestnut. In this study, we generated a high-quality C. mollissima genome assembly by combining 90× Pacific Biosciences long read and 170× high-throughput chromosome conformation capture data. The assembly was 688.93 Mb in total, with a contig N50 of 2.83 Mb. Most of the assembled sequences (99.75%) were anchored onto 12 chromosomes, and 97.07% of the assemblies were accurately anchored and oriented. A total of 33,638 protein-coding genes were predicted in the C. mollissima genome. Comparative genomic and transcriptomic analyses provided insights into the genes expressed in specific tissues, as well as those associated with burr development in the Chinese chestnut. This highly contiguous assembly of the C. mollissima genome provides a valuable resource for studies aiming at identifying and characterizing agronomical-important traits, and will aid the design of breeding strategies to develop more focused, faster, and predictable improvement programs.

Hybrid de novo genome assembly of Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima).

Project description:BackgroundThe Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) is widely cultivated in China for nut production. This plant also plays an important ecological role in afforestation and ecosystem services. To facilitate and expand the use of C. mollissima for breeding and its genetic improvement, we report here the whole-genome sequence of C. mollissima.FindingsWe produced a high-quality assembly of the C. mollissima genome using Pacific Biosciences single-molecule sequencing. The final draft genome is ∼785.53 Mb long, with a contig N50 size of 944 kb, and we further annotated 36,479 protein-coding genes in the genome. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. mollissima diverged from Quercus robur, a member of the Fagaceae family, ∼13.62 million years ago.ConclusionsThe high-quality whole-genome assembly of C. mollissima will be a valuable resource for further genetic improvement and breeding for disease resistance and nut quality.

The complete chloroplast genome of Castanea crenata Sieb. & Zucc.

Project description:The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Castanea crenata was sequenced and assembled using PacBio Sequel data. The cpDNA was 160,787?bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,654?bp each separated by a large and small single copy (LSC and SSC) regions of 90,645?bp and 18,836?bp, respectively. The cpDNA contained 102 genes, including 65 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes and 37 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that C. crenata was closest to C. pumila var. pumila, which is known as a typical variety of American chinquapin or dwarf chestnut.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of a Castanea henryi cultivar.

Project description:Castanea henryi（Skam）Rehd. et Wils is an important woody plant producing nuts in China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. henryi was reported by using the Illumina Hiseq 2500 platform. The complete chloroplast sequence is 160,807 bp, including large single-copy (LSC) region of 90,394 bp, small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,963 bp, and a pair of invert repeats (IR) regions of 25,725 bp. Plastid genome contains 112 genes, 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Based on 26 chloroplast genomes, phylogenetic analysis indicates that C. henryi is closely related to C. mollissima in Fagaceae.

The complete chloroplast genome of Castanea sativa, an endemic to Europe.

Project description:Sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa) is an endemic species of genus Castanea in Europe, which is widespread in the southern part of continental Europe. The complete genome sequence of chloroplast was determined through Illumina NovaSeq platform. Totally the genome of chloroplast was 160,938 bp in length, GC rich (36.8%), comprising a pair of 25,726 bp inverted repeat sequences, separated by a 90,519 bp large and 18,967 bp small single-copy regions. There were 129 genes, including 37 transfer RNA genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 84 protein-coding genes. The phylogenetic tree analysis showed that C. sativa exhibited the closest relationship with Castanea henryi.
