The complete chloroplast genome of Strobilanthes biocullata (Acanthaceae).

ABSTRACT: Strobilanthes biocullata is a plietesial species endemic to China. The complete chloroplast genome (cp genome) of S. biocullata was sequenced for the first time. The cp genome of S. biocullata is 144,012 bp in length. It consists of a large single copy (LSC) region (91,628 bp) and a small single copy (SSC) region (17,666 bp), which are separated by two inverted repeats (IRs, 34,718 bp). It contains 114 unique genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The overall GC content is 38.2%. Phylogenetic analysis of 13 species has been conducted. This newly sequenced cp genome will be useful to further genetic diversity, phylogeny, and genomic studies of the genus Strobilanthes.

Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Justicia flava: Genome Comparative Analysis and Phylogenetic Relationships among Acanthaceae.

Project description:The complete chloroplast genome of J. flava, an endangered medicinal plant in Saudi Arabia, was sequenced and compared with cp genome of three Acanthaceae species to characterize the cp genome, identify SSRs, and also detect variation among the cp genomes of the sampled Acanthaceae. NOVOPlasty was used to assemble the complete chloroplast genome from the whole genome data. The cp genome of J. flava was 150, 888bp in length with GC content of 38.2%, and has a quadripartite structure; the genome harbors one pair of inverted repeat (IRa and IRb 25, 500bp each) separated by large single copy (LSC, 82, 995 bp) and small single copy (SSC, 16, 893 bp). There are 132 genes in the genome, which includes 80 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA, and 4 rRNA; 113 are unique while the remaining 19 are duplicated in IR regions. The repeat analysis indicates that the genome contained all types of repeats with palindromic occurring more frequently; the analysis also identified total number of 98 simple sequence repeats (SSR) of which majority are mononucleotides A/T and are found in the intergenic spacer. The comparative analysis with other cp genomes sampled indicated that the inverted repeat regions are conserved than the single copy regions and the noncoding regions show high rate of variation than the coding region. All the genomes have ndhF and ycf1 genes in the border junction of IRb and SSC. Sequence divergence analysis of the protein coding genes showed that seven genes (petB, atpF, psaI, rpl32, rpl16, ycf1, and clpP) are under positive selection. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that Justiceae is sister to Ruellieae. This study reported the first cp genome of the largest genus in Acanthaceae and provided resources for studying genetic diversity of J. flava as well as resolving phylogenetic relationships within the core Acanthaceae.

Peculiarities of the inverted repeats in the complete chloroplast genome of Strobilanthes bantonensis Lindau.

Project description:Strobilanthes bantonensis Lindau belongs to the family Acanthaceae. It is an antiviral herb that can be used to prevent Influenza virus infections in the border areas between China and Vietnam. Local people call it 'Purple Ban-lan-gen' because its root is very similar to that of Strobilanthes cusia (Nees) Kuntze, which is called 'Southern Ban-lan-gen' and is listed in Chinese Pharmacopeia. The two species have been used interchangeably locally. However, their pharmacological equivalence has caused concern for years. We have sequenced the chloroplast genome of S. cusia previously. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome sequence of S. bantonensis to preform in-depth comparative genetic analysis of the two Strobilanthes species. The chloroplast genome of S. bantonensis is a circular DNA molecule with a total length of 144,591 bp and encodes 84 protein-coding, 8 ribosomes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The chloroplast genome has a conservative quadripartite structure, including a large single-copy (LSC) region, a small single-copy (SSC) region, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions, with lengths of 92,068 bp, 17,767 bp, and 17,378 bp, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that S. bantonensis is closely related to the S. cusia. Compared with other species from Acanthaceae, S. bantonensis has a significantly shortened IR region, suggesting the occurrence of IR contraction events. This study will help future taxonomic, evolutionary, phylogenetic, and bioprospecting studies of the sizeable Strobilanthes genus, which contains over 400 species.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Thunbergia erecta (Benth.) T. Anders. (Acanthaceae).

Project description:Thunbergia erecta (Benth.) T. Anders. is an upright shrub species of Acanthaceae with great ecological and economical values. In this paper, we explored the complete chloroplast genome sequence of T. erecta using next generation sequencing to provide genomic resources that could help to promote its conservation. The genome of T. erecta is 152,202 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region of 84,232 bp, and a small single-copy region of 17,656 bp. It encodes a total of 131 genes, including 8 rRNA genes, 37 tRNA genes, 84 protein-coding genes and 2 pseudo genes. The GC content of T. erecta genome is 38.47%. The phylogenetic analysis suggests that it was closely related to Avicennia marina in Acanthaceae. In addition, we found that T. erecta appeared late clade in the whole family while outgroups plants appeared even later. T. erecta is morphologically similar to other plants in Acanthaceae, but is genetically closed to the outgroup species.

Project description:Peristrophe japonica (Thunb.) Bremek. is a widely distributed medicinal plant species in China and Japan. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of P. japonica was assembled and characterized from high-throughput sequencing data. The chloroplast genome is 151,374 bp in length, consisting of a large single-copy (LSC) and a small single-copy (SSC) regions of 83,395 bp and 17,073 bp, respectively, which were separated by a pair of 25,453 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The overall GC content of the genome is 38.07%. The genome contains 133 genes, including 88 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed using 23 chloroplast genomes reveals that Peristrophe form a separate group which is a sister of the genus Dicliptera. The work reported here is the first complete chloroplast genome of P. japonica which will provide useful information to the evolutionary studies on the genus of Peristrophe.
