The complete chloroplast genome of Polygonatum zanlanscianense (Pampanini, 1915) (Asparagaceae), an adulterants of Polygonati rhizoma.

ABSTRACT: Polygonatum zanlanscianense Pamp. is a plant species of the genus Polygonatum (Asparagaceae) distributed widely in China. The complete chloroplast genome of P. zanlanscianense was sequenced by Illumina sequencing technology. The plastome is 155,609 bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure, including one small single copy (SSC, 18,427 bp), one large copy (LSC, 84,438 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IRs, 26,372 bp each). The cp genome encoded 132 genes, including 38 tRNA, 8 rRNA, and 86 protein-coding genes. The overall GC content is 37.7%. The ML phylogenetic analysis based on the cp genomes indicated that the genus Polygonatum is sister to the genus Heteropolygonatum within the tribe Polygonateae, P. zanlanscianense is sister to P. cirrhifolium within the genus Polygonatum. This study provides an important theoretical foundation for varieties identification, the phylogenetic relationship of P. zanlanscianense. Furthermore, this article takes a radical reform of Polygonati rhizoma.

Project description:Polygonatum Miller belongs to the tribe Polygonateae of Asparagaceae. The horizontal creeping fleshy roots of several species in this genus serve as traditional Chinese medicine. Previous studies have mainly reported the size and gene contents of the plastomes, with little information on the comparative analysis of the plastid genomes of this genus. Additionally, there are still some species whose chloroplast genome information has not been reported. In this study, the complete plastomes of six Polygonatum were sequenced and assembled, among them, the chloroplast genome of P. campanulatum was reported for the first time. Comparative and phylogenetic analyses were then conducted with the published plastomes of three related species. Results indicated that the whole plastome length of the Polygonatum species ranged from 154,564 bp (P. multiflorum) to 156,028 bp (P. stenophyllum) having a quadripartite structure of LSC and SSC separated by two IR regions. A total of 113 unique genes were detected in each of the species. Comparative analysis revealed that gene content and total GC content in these species were highly identical. No significant contraction or expansion was observed in the IR boundaries among all the species except P. sibiricum1, in which the rps19 gene was pseudogenized owing to incomplete duplication. Abundant long dispersed repeats and SSRs were detected in each genome. There were five remarkably variable regions and 14 positively selected genes were identified among Polygonatum and Heteropolygonatum. Phylogenetic results based on chloroplast genome strongly supported the placement of P. campanulatum with alternate leaves in sect. Verticillata, a group characterized by whorled leaves. Moreover, P. verticillatum and P. cyrtonema were displayed as paraphyletic. This study revealed that the characters of plastomes in Polygonatum and Heteropolygonatum maintained a high degree of similarity. Five highly variable regions were found to be potential specific DNA barcodes in Polygonatum. Phylogenetic results suggested that leaf arrangement was not suitable as a basis for delimitation of subgeneric groups in Polygonatum and the definitions of P. cyrtonema and P. verticillatum require further study.
