Project description:The plant genus Melastoma is comprised of members estimated to have formed through recent species radiation. Natural hybridization among member species further complicates taxonomy within the genus. Herein, we report the complete chloroplast genome of M. candidum, assembled from partial data obtained from a parallel whole-genome Illumina paired-end sequencing effort on the species. The chloroplast genome was 156,682?bp in length, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,084?bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,094?bp, separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,752?bp each. It was predicted to contain a total of 129 genes, with an overall GC content of 37.17%. Phylogenetic analysis placed M. candidum in the same clade as species within the Melastomeae tribe of Melastomataceae.

Project description:We sequenced and analyzed the complete chloroplast genome of Aster tataricus (family Asteraceae), a Chinese herb used medicinally to relieve coughs and reduce sputum. The A. tataricus chloroplast genome was 152,992 bp in size, and harbored a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb, each 24,850 bp) divided into a large single-copy (LSC, 84,698 bp) and a small single-copy (SSC, 18,250 bp) region. Our annotation revealed that the A. tataricus chloroplast genome contained 115 genes, including 81 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. In addition, 70 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were detected in the A. tataricus chloroplast genome, including mononucleotides (36), dinucleotides (1), trinucleotides (23), tetranucleotides (1), pentanucleotides (8), and hexanucleotides (1). Comparative chloroplast genome analysis of three Aster species indicated that a higher similarity was preserved in the IR regions than in the LSC and SSC regions, and that the differences in the degree of preservation were slighter between A. tataricus and A. altaicus than between A. tataricus and A. spathulifolius. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. tataricus was more closely related to A. altaicus than to A. spathulifolius. Our findings offer valuable information for future research on Aster species identification and selective breeding.

Project description:Spathiphyllum is a very important tropical plant used as a small, potted, ornamental plant in South China, with an annual output value of hundreds of millions of yuan. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete nucleotide sequence of the Spathiphyllum 'Parrish' chloroplast genome. The whole chloroplast genome is 168,493 bp in length, and includes a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (IRa and IRb, each 31,600 bp), separated by a small single-copy (SSC, 15,799 bp) region and a large single-copy (LSC, 89,494 bp) region. Our annotation revealed that the S. 'Parrish' chloroplast genome contained 132 genes, including 87 protein coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. In the repeat structure analysis, we detected 281 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) which included mononucleotides (223), dinucleotides (28), trinucleotides (12), tetranucleotides (11), pentanucleotides (6), and hexanucleotides (1), in the S. 'Parrish' chloroplast genome. In addition, we identified 50 long repeats, comprising 18 forward repeats, 13 reverse repeats, 17 palindromic repeats, and 2 complementary repeats. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and insertion/deletion (indel) analyses of the chloroplast genome of the S. 'Parrish' relative S. cannifolium revealed 962 SNPs in S. 'Parrish'. There were 158 indels (90 insertions and 68 deletions) in the S. 'Parrish' chloroplast genome relative to the S. cannifolium chloroplast genome. Phylogenetic analysis of five species found S. 'Parrish' to be more closely related to S. kochii than to S. cannifolium. This study identified the characteristics of the S. 'Parrish' chloroplast genome, which will facilitate species identification and phylogenetic analysis within the genus Spathiphyllum.

Project description:Paeonia ostii, a common oil-tree peony, is important ornamentally and medicinally. However, there are few studies on the chloroplast genome of Paeonia ostii. We sequenced and analyzed the complete chloroplast genome of P. ostii. The size of the P. ostii chloroplast genome is 152,153 bp, including a large single-copy region (85,373 bp), a small single-copy region (17,054 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats regions (24,863 bp). The P. ostii chloroplast genome encodes 111 genes, including 77 protein-coding genes, four ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. The genome contains forward repeats (22), palindromic repeats (28), and tandem repeats (24). The presence of rich simple-sequence repeat loci in the genome provides opportunities for future population genetics work for breeding new varieties. A phylogenetic analysis showed that P. ostii is more closely related to Paeonia delavayi and Paeonialudlowii than to Paeoniaobovata and Paeoniaveitchii. The results of this study provide an assembly of the whole chloroplast genome of P. ostii, which may be useful for future breeding and further biological discoveries. It will provide a theoretical basis for the improvement of peony yield and the determination of phylogenetic status.

Project description:Quercus acutissima, an important endemic and ecological plant of the Quercus genus, is widely distributed throughout China. However, there have been few studies on its chloroplast genome. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Q. acutissima was sequenced, analyzed, and compared to four species in the Fagaceae family. The size of the Q. acutissima chloroplast genome is 161,124 bp, including one large single copy (LSC) region of 90,423 bp and one small single copy (SSC) region of 19,068 bp, separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 51,632 bp. The GC content of the whole genome is 36.08%, while those of LSC, SSC, and IR are 34.62%, 30.84%, and 42.78%, respectively. The Q. acutissima chloroplast genome encodes 136 genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, four ribosomal RNA genes, and 40 transfer RNA genes. In the repeat structure analysis, 31 forward and 22 inverted long repeats and 65 simple-sequence repeat loci were detected in the Q. acutissima cp genome. The existence of abundant simple-sequence repeat loci in the genome suggests the potential for future population genetic work. The genome comparison revealed that the LSC region is more divergent than the SSC and IR regions, and there is higher divergence in noncoding regions than in coding regions. The phylogenetic relationships of 25 species inferred that members of the Quercus genus do not form a clade and that Q. acutissima is closely related to Q. variabilis. This study identified the unique characteristics of the Q. acutissima cp genome, which will provide a theoretical basis for species identification and biological research.

The overall GC content of the genome was 37.0%. The whole genome contained 129 unique genes, including 81 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis showed that B. cochinchinens was sister to Barthea barthei. The present study provided B. cochinchinensis genomic information that may be found useful in conservation and molecular phylogenetic studies on Blastus.

Project description:Annona reticulata is native to South and Central America which has many phytochemical and pharmacological activities suggesting a wide range of clinical application in lieu of cancer chemotherapy. This study provides abundant genomic data for the genetic relationship study, germplasm resources evaluation and varieties selection of A. reticulata. The complete chloroplast genome of A. reticulata was sequenced, assembled, and annotated in this study. The genome size was 201,906 bp and was divided into four regions: a large single-copy region of 69,650 bp, a small single-copy region of 3,014 bp, and two inverted repeat regions of 64,621 bp. A total number of 164 genes were annotated, including 115 protein-coding genes, one pseudogene, 40 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. In terms of gene function, the 164 genes were divided into four major groups: genes for self-replication, photosynthesis, unknown function, and other genes. A maximum likelihood tree based on the chloroplast genome sequences of 24 plant species was constructed. The result of phylogenetic analysis showed that A. cherimola had the closest relationship with A. reticulate.
