Characterization and Comparative Analysis of Complete Chloroplast Genomes of Three Species From the Genus Astragalus (Leguminosae).

ABSTRACT: Astragalus is the largest genus in Leguminosae. Several molecular studies have investigated the potential adulterants of the species within this genus; nonetheless, the evolutionary relationships among these species remain unclear. Herein, we sequenced and annotated the complete chloroplast genomes of three Astragalus species-Astragalus adsurgens, Astragalus mongholicus var. dahuricus, and Astragalus melilotoides using next-generation sequencing technology and plastid genome annotator (PGA) tool. All species belonged to the inverted repeat lacking clade (IRLC) and had similar sequences concerning gene contents and characteristics. Abundant simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci were detected, with single-nucleotide repeats accounting for the highest proportion of SSRs, most of which were A/T homopolymers. Using Astragalus membranaceus var. membranaceus as reference, the divergence was evident in most non-coding regions of the complete chloroplast genomes of these species. Seven genes (atpB, psbD, rpoB, rpoC1, trnV, rrn16, and rrn23) showed high nucleotide variability (Pi), and could be used as DNA barcodes for Astragalus sp. cemA and rpl33 were found undergoing positive selection by the section patterns in the coded protein. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Astragalus is a monophyletic group closely related to the genus Oxytropis within the tribe Galegeae. The newly sequenced chloroplast genomes provide insight into the unresolved evolutionary relationships within Astragalus spp. and are expected to contribute to species identification.

Complete Chloroplast Genomes and Comparative Analyses of Three Ornamental Impatiens Species.

Project description:Impatiens L., the largest genus in the family Balsaminaceae with approximately 1,000 species, is a controversial genus. Due to the conflict of morphological features and insufficient genomic resources, the studies of systematic evolution and understanding of taxonomic identification are considered to be very limited. Hence, we have sequenced the complete chloroplast genomes of three ornamental species (Impatiens balsamina, I. hawkeri, and I. walleriana), and compared them with previously published wild species data. We performed a detailed comparison of a highly similar basic structure, size, GC content, gene number, order, and functional array among them. Similarly, most divergent genes were detected from previous work in the literature. The mutational regions containing highly variable nucleotide hotspots were identified and may be used as potential markers for species identification and taxonomy. Furthermore, using whole chloroplast genome data to analysis the phylogenetic relationship of the Balsaminaceae species, we found that they were all part of a single clade. The three phenotypically different ornamental species were clustered together, suggesting that they were very likely to be closely related. We achieved and characterized the plastid genome structure, identified the divergence hotspots, and determined the phylogenetic and taxonomic positions of the three cultivated species in the Impatiens genus. The results may show that the chloroplast genome can be used to solve phylogenetic problems in or between the Impatiens genus and also provide genomic resources for the study of the Balsaminaceae family's systematics and evolution.

Characterization and comparative analysis of the complete plastid genomes of four Astragalus species.

Project description:Astragalus is the largest flowering plant genus. We assembled the plastid genomes of four Astragalus species (Astragalus iranicus, A. macropelmatus, A. mesoleios, A. odoratus) using next-generation sequencing and analyzed their plastomes including genome organization, codon usage, nucleotide diversity, prediction of RNA editing and etc. The total length of the newly sequenced Astragalus plastomes ranged from 121,050 bp to 123,622 bp, with 110 genes comprising 76 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and four ribosome RNA (rRNA) genes. Comparative analysis of the chloroplast genomes of Astragalus revealed several hypervariable regions comprising three non-coding sites (trnQ(UUG)-accD, rps7 -trnV(GAC) and trnR(ACG)-trnN(GUU)) and four protein-coding genes (ycf1, ycf2, accD and clpP), which have potential as molecular markers. Positive selection signatures were found in five genes in Astragalus species including rps11, rps15, accD, clpP and ycf1. The newly sequenced species, A. macropelmatus, has an approximately 13-kb inversion in IR region. Phylogenetic analysis based on 75 protein-coding gene sequences confirmed that Astragalus form a monophyletic clade within the tribe Galegeae and Oxytropis is sister group to the Coluteoid clade. The results of this study may helpful in elucidating the chloroplast genome structure, understanding the evolutionary dynamics at genus Astragalus and IRLC levels and investigating the phylogenetic relationships. Moreover, the newly plastid genomes sequenced have been increased the plastome data resources on Astragalus that can be useful in further phylogenomic studies.

Complete chloroplast genomes of Rubus species (Rosaceae) and comparative analysis within the genus.

Project description:BackgroundRubus is the largest genus of the family Rosaceae and is valued as medicinal, edible, and ornamental plants. Here, we sequenced and assembled eight chloroplast (cp) genomes of Rubus from the Dabie Mountains in Central China. Fifty-one Rubus species were comparatively analyzed for the cp genomes including the eight newly discovered genomes and forty-three previously reported in GenBank database (NCBI).ResultsThe eight newly obtained cp genomes had the same quadripartite structure as the other cp genomes in Rubus. The length of the eight plastomes ranged from 155,546 bp to 156,321 bp with similar GC content (37.0 to 37.3%). The results indicated 133-134 genes were annotated for the Rubus plastomes, which contained 88 or 89 protein coding genes (PCGs), 37 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and eight ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). Among them, 16 (or 18) of the genes were duplicated in the IR region. Structural comparative analysis results showed that the gene content and order were relatively preserved. Nucleotide variability analysis identified nine hotspot regions for genomic divergence and multiple simple sequences repeats (SSRs), which may be used as markers for genetic diversity and phylogenetic analysis. Phylogenetic relationships were highly supported within the family Rosaceae, as evidenced by sub-clade taxa cp genome sequences.ConclusionThus, the whole plastome may be used as a super-marker in phylogenetic studies of this genus.

The complete chloroplast genomes of three Hamamelidaceae species: Comparative and phylogenetic analyses.

Project description:Hamamelidaceae is an important group that represents the origin and early evolution of angiosperms. Its plants have many uses, such as timber, medical, spice, and ornamental uses. In this study, the complete chloroplast genomes of Loropetalum chinense (R. Br.) Oliver, Corylopsis glandulifera Hemsl., and Corylopsis velutina Hand.-Mazz. were sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. The sizes of the three chloroplast genomes were 159,402 bp (C. glandulifera), 159,414 bp (C. velutina), and 159,444 bp (L. chinense), respectively. These chloroplast genomes contained typical quadripartite structures with a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (26,283, 26,283, and 26,257 bp), a large single-copy (LSC) region (88,134, 88,146, and 88,160 bp), and a small single-copy (SSC) region (18,702, 18,702, and 18,770 bp). The chloroplast genomes encoded 132-133 genes, including 85-87 protein-coding genes, 37-38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The coding regions were composed of 26,797, 26,574, and 26,415 codons, respectively, most of which ended in A/U. A total of 37-43 long repeats and 175-178 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified, and the SSRs contained a higher number of A + T than G + C bases. The genome comparison showed that the IR regions were more conserved than the LSC or SSC regions, while the noncoding regions contained higher variability than the gene coding regions. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that species in the same genus tended to cluster together. Chunia Hung T. Chang, Mytilaria Lecomte, and Disanthus Maxim. may have diverged early and Corylopsis Siebold & Zucc. was closely related to Loropetalum R. Br. This study provides valuable information for further species identification, evolution, and phylogenetic studies of Hamamelidaceae plants.

Complete Chloroplast Genomes and Comparative Analyses of Three <i>Paraphalaenopsis</i> (Aeridinae, Orchidaceae) Species.

Project description:Paraphalaenopsis, a genus of perennial herbs from the family Orchidaceae, contains a number of ornamental species. However, there is no information on the chloroplast genomes of Paraphalaenopsis, which limits our studies of this genus. In this study, we reported the chloroplast genomes of three species of Paraphalaenopsis (P. labukensis, P. denevel, and P. laycockii 'Semi-alba') and performed comprehensive comparative analysis. These three chloroplast genomes showed a typical quadripartile structure. Their lengths ranged from 147,311 bp to 149,240 bp. Each genome contained 120 unique genes, including 74 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Comparative analysis revealed major differences in sequence divergence in the three chloroplast genomes. In addition, six hypervariable regions were identified (psbM-trnDGUC, psbB, ccsA, trnKUUU, trnSGCU-trnGUCC, rps16-trnQUUG) that can be used as DNA molecular markers. Phylogenetic relationships were determined using the chloroplast genomes of 28 species from 12 genera of Aeridinae. Results suggested that Paraphalaenopsis was a clade of Aeridinae that was sister to the Holcoglossum-Vanda clade, with 100% bootstrap support within Aeridinae. The findings of this study provided the foundation for future studies on the phylogenetic analysis of Aeridinae.

Comparative Analyses of Five Complete Chloroplast Genomes from the Genus Pterocarpus (Fabacaeae).

Project description:Pterocarpus is a genus of trees mainly distributed in tropical Asia, Africa, and South America. Some species of Pterocarpus are rosewood tree species, having important economic value for timber, and for some species, medicinal value as well. Up to now, information about this genus with regard to the genomic characteristics of the chloroplasts has been limited. Based on a combination of next-generation sequencing (Illumina Hiseq) and long-read sequencing (PacBio), the whole chloroplast genomes (cp genomes) of five species (rosewoods) in Pterocarpus (Pterocarpus macrocarpus, P. santalinus, P. indicus, P. pedatus, P. marsupium) have been assembled. The cp genomes of five species in Pterocarpus have similar structural characteristics, gene content, and sequence to other flowering plants. The cp genomes have a typical four-part structure, containing 110 unique genes (77 protein coding genes, 4 rRNAs, 29 tRNAs). Through comparative genomic analysis, abundant simple sequence repeat (SSR)loci (333-349) were detected in Pterocarpus, among which A /T single nucleotide repeats accounted for the highest proportion (72.8-76.4%). In the five cp genomes of Pterocarpus, eight hypervariable regions, including trnH-GUG_psbA, trnS-UGA_psbC, accD-psaI, ndhI-exon2_ndhI-exon1, ndhG_ndhi-exon2, rpoC2-exon2, ccsA, and trnfM-CAU, are proposed for use as DNA barcode regions. In the comparison of gene selection pressures (P. santalinus as the reference genome), purifying selection was inferred as the primary mode of selection in maintaining important biological functions. Phylogenetic analysis shows that Pterocarpus is a monophyletic group. The species P. tinctorius is resolved as early diverging in the genus. Pterocarpus was resolved as sister to the genus Tipuana.

The complete chloroplast genome of Stryphnodendron adstringens (Leguminosae - Caesalpinioideae): comparative analysis with related Mimosoid species.

Project description:Stryphnodendron adstringens is a medicinal plant belonging to the Leguminosae family, and it is commonly found in the southeastern savannas, endemic to the Cerrado biome. The goal of this study was to assemble and annotate the chloroplast genome of S. adstringens and to compare it with previously known genomes of the mimosoid clade within Leguminosae. The chloroplast genome was reconstructed using de novo and referenced-based assembly of paired-end reads generated by shotgun sequencing of total genomic DNA. The size of the S. adstringens chloroplast genome was 162,169 bp. This genome included a large single-copy (LSC) region of 91,045 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 19,014 bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) of 26,055 bp each. The S. adstringens chloroplast genome contains a total of 111 functional genes, including 77 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA genes, and 4 ribosomal RNA genes. A total of 137 SSRs and 42 repeat structures were identified in S. adstringens chloroplast genome, with the highest proportion in the LSC region. A comparison of the S. adstringens chloroplast genome with those from other mimosoid species indicated that gene content and synteny are highly conserved in the clade. The phylogenetic reconstruction using 73 conserved coding-protein genes from 19 Leguminosae species was supported to be paraphyletic. Furthermore, the noncoding and coding regions with high nucleotide diversity may supply valuable markers for molecular evolutionary and phylogenetic studies at different taxonomic levels in this group.

The Complete Chloroplast Genomes of Three <i>Cardiocrinum</i> (Liliaceae) Species: Comparative Genomic and Phylogenetic Analyses.

Project description:The genus Cardiocrinum (Endlicher) Lindley (Liliaceae) comprises three herbaceous perennial species that are distributed in East Asian temperate-deciduous forests. Although all three Cardiocrinum species have horticultural and medical uses, studies related to species identification and molecular phylogenetic analysis of this genus have not been reported. Here, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) sequences of each Cardiocrinum species using Illumina paired-end sequencing technology. The cp genomes of C. giganteum, C. cathayanum, and C. cordatum were found to be 152,653, 152,415, and 152,410 bp in length, respectively, including a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (26,364-26,500 bp) separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region (82,186-82,368 bp) and a small single-copy (SSC) region (17,309-17,344 bp). Each cp genome contained the same 112 unique genes consisting of 30 transfer RNA genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 78 protein-coding genes. Gene content, gene order, AT content, and IR/SC boundary structures were almost the same among the three Cardiocrinum cp genomes, yet their lengths varied due to contraction/expansion of the IR/SC borders. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) analysis further indicated the richest SSRs in these cp genomes to be A/T mononucleotides. A total of 45, 57, and 45 repeats were identified in C. giganteum, C. cathayanum, and C. cordatum, respectively. Six cpDNA markers (rps19, rpoC2-rpoC1, trnS-psbZ, trnM-atpE, psaC-ndhE, ycf15-ycf1) with the percentage of variable sites higher than 0.95% were identified. Phylogenomic analyses of the complete cp genomes and 74 protein-coding genes strongly supported the monophyly of Cardiocrinum and a sister relationship between C. cathayanum and C. cordatum. The availability of these cp genomes provides valuable genetic information for further population genetics and phylogeography studies on Cardiocrinum.

Characterization and Comparative Analysis of Two Rheum Complete Chloroplast Genomes.

Project description:Rheum species present a significant economic value. Traditional Chinese medicine rhubarb is an important medicinal material in China. It has a long history of use, with a record of use as early as two thousand years ago. Here, we determined the complete chloroplast genome sequences of Rheum nobile and Rheum acuminatum and comprehensively compared them to two other available Rheum cp genomes at the genome scale. The results revealed cp genomes ranging in size from 159,051 to 161,707 bp with a similar typical quadripartite and circular structure. The genome organization, gene numbers, gene order, and GC contents of these four Rheum cp genomes were similar to those of many angiosperm cp genomes. Repeats and microsatellites were detected in the R. nobile and R. acuminatum cp genomes. The Mauve alignment revealed that there were no rearrangements in the cp genomes of the four Rheum species. Thirteen mutational hotspots for genome divergence were identified, which could be utilized as potential markers for phylogenetic studies and the identification of Rheum species. The phylogenetic relationships of the four species showed that the members of Rheum cluster into a single clade, indicating their close relationships. Our study provides valuable information for the taxonomic, phylogenetic, and evolutionary analysis of Rheum.

Comparative Analysis of the Complete Chloroplast Genomes of Five Quercus Species.

Project description:Quercus is considered economically and ecologically one of the most important genera in the Northern Hemisphere. Oaks are taxonomically perplexing because of shared interspecific morphological traits and intraspecific morphological variation, which are mainly attributed to hybridization. Universal plastid markers cannot provide a sufficient number of variable sites to explore the phylogeny of this genus, and chloroplast genome-scale data have proven to be useful in resolving intractable phylogenetic relationships. In this study, the complete chloroplast genomes of four Quercus species were sequenced, and one published chloroplast genome of Quercus baronii was retrieved for comparative analyses. The five chloroplast genomes ranged from 161,072 bp (Q. baronii) to 161,237 bp (Q. dolicholepis) in length, and their gene organization and order, and GC content, were similar to those of other Fagaceae species. We analyzed nucleotide substitutions, indels, and repeats in the chloroplast genomes, and found 19 relatively highly variable regions that will potentially provide plastid markers for further taxonomic and phylogenetic studies within Quercus. We observed that four genes (ndhA, ndhK, petA, and ycf1) were subject to positive selection. The phylogenetic relationships of the Quercus species inferred from the chloroplast genomes obtained moderate-to-high support, indicating that chloroplast genome data may be useful in resolving relationships in this genus.
