Genome Sequence of Elaeagnus mollis, the First Chromosome-Level Genome of the Family Elaeagnaceae.

ABSTRACT: Elaeagnus mollis Diels (Elaeagnaceae) is a species of shrubs and/or dwarf trees that produces highly nutritious nuts with abundant oil and pharmaceutical properties. It is endemic to China but endangered. Therefore, to facilitate the protection of its genetic resources and the development of its commercially attractive traits we generated a high-quality genome of E. mollis. The contig version of the genome (630.96 Mb long) was assembled into 14 chromosomes using Hi-C data, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 18.40 and 38.86 Mb, respectively. Further analyses identified 397.49 Mb (63.0%) of repetitive sequences and 27,130 protein-coding genes, of which 26,725 (98.5%) were functionally annotated. Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Ortholog assessment indicated that 98.0% of highly conserved plant genes are completely present in the genome. This is the first reference genome for any species of Elaeagnaceae and should greatly facilitate future efforts to conserve, utilize, and elucidate the evolution of this endangered endemic species.

Genome sequence of Kobresia littledalei, the first chromosome-level genome in the family Cyperaceae.

Project description:Kobresia plants are important forage resources in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and are essential in maintaining the ecological balance of grasslands. Therefore, it is beneficial to obtain Kobresia genome resources and study the adaptive characteristics of Kobresia plants in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. We assembled the genome of Kobresia littledalei C. B. Clarke, which was about 373.85?Mb in size. 96.82% of the bases were attached to 29 pseudo-chromosomes, combining PacBio, Illumina and Hi-C sequencing data. Additional investigation of the annotation identified 23,136 protein-coding genes. 98.95% of these were functionally annotated. According to phylogenetic analysis, K. littledalei in Cyperaceae separated from Poaceae about 97.6 million years ago after separating from Ananas comosus in Bromeliaceae about 114.3mya. For K. littledalei, we identified a high-quality genome at the chromosome level. This is the first time a reference genome has been established for a species of Cyperaceae. This genome will help additional studies focusing on the processes of plant adaptation to environments with high altitude and cold weather.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of <i>Elaeagnus pungens</i> (elaeagnaceae) and phylogeny within elaeagnaceae.

Project description:Elaeagnus pungens is an evergreen shrub with high medicinal values. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of E. pungens was characterized. The chloroplast genome of E. pungens is 152,218 bp in length, consisting of two 25,876 bp inverted repeats, 18,231 bp small single copy region, and 82,235 bp large single copy region. The chloroplast genome contains 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenomic analysis revealed that E. pungens and species from Elaeagnus formed a monophyletic clade sister to the clade consisting of species from Hippophae.

The Chloroplast Genome of Elaeagnus macrophylla and trnH Duplication Event in Elaeagnaceae.

Project description:Elaeagnaceae, which harbor nitrogen-fixing actinomycetes, is a plant family of the Rosales and sister to Rhamnaceae, Barbeyaceae and Dirachmaceae. The results of previous molecular studies have not strongly supported the families of Elaeagnaceae, Rhamnaceae, Barbeyaceae and Dirachmaceae. However, chloroplast genome studies provide valuable phylogenetic information; therefore, we determined the chloroplast genome of Elaeaganus macrophylla and compared it to that of Rosales such as IR junction and infA gene. The chloroplast genome of Elaeagnus macrophylla is 152,224 bp in length and the infA gene of E. macrophylla was psuedogenation. Phylogenetic analyses based on 79 genes in 30 species revealed that Elaeagnus was closely related to Morus. Comparison of the IR junction in six other rosids revealed that the trnH gene contained the LSC region, whereas E. macrophylla contained a trnH gene duplication in the IR region. Comparison of the LSC/IRb (JLB) and the IRa/LSC (JLA) regions of Elaeagnaceae (Elaeagnus and Shephedia) and Rhamnaceae (Rhamnus) showed that trnH gene duplication only occurred in the Elaeagnaceae. The complete chloroplast genome of Elaeagnus macrophylla provides unique characteristics in rosids. The infA gene has been lost or transferred to the nucleus in rosids, while E. macrophylla lost the infA gene. Evaluation of the chloroplast genome of Elaeagnus revealed trnH gene duplication for the first time in rosids. The availability of Elaeagnus cp genomes provides valuable information describing the relationship of Elaeagnaceae, Barbeyaceae and Dirachmaceae, IR junction that will be valuable to future systematics studies.

Complete plastome sequence of <i>Elaeagnus glabra</i> (Elaeagnaceae): an Asian endemic plant species.

Project description:Elaeagnus glabra is an evergreen vine or climbing shrub with 5 m height. It is widespread in southern China. It grows in the sunny forests or forest margins below 1000 m a.s.l. In this paper, we report and describe the complete plastome of E. glabra in order to provide useful genomic data for its systematic research. The complete plastome of E. glabra is 152,555 bp with a typical quadripartite structure of angiosperms. It contains two Inverted Repeats (IRs) of 25,918 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) of 82,408 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,311 bp. The complete plastome contains 129 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The overall A/T content in the chloroplast genome of E. glabra is 62.90%. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that E. glabra is close to E. loureirii within Elaeagnaceae. The complete plastome of E. glabra will provide useful resources for the development and utilization of this species and the phylogenetic study of Rosales.

Microsatellite markers for Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia; Elaeagnaceae).

Project description:Microsatellite markers were developed for the plant species Elaeagnus angustifolia to assist in future investigations of genetic variability in its native and invasive ranges and the precise origins of the United States/Canada invasion. • Eleven polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed. The number of alleles observed for each locus ranged from three to 11. • These microsatellites have sufficient potential variability to define population structure and origins of the Russian olive invasion.
