The complete chloroplast genome of Nymphaea thermarum (Nymphaeaceae) from Rwanda, Africa

ABSTRACT: Abstract Nymphaea thermarum is classified in the Nymphaeaceae, and is the smallest water lily in the world. It has been extinct its native environment and needs urgent protection. Here, we report and characterize the complete chloroplast genome of N. thermarum. The total length of the chloroplast genome is 159,849 bp and the GC content is 39.2% (A: 30.1%, C: 20.0%, G: 19.2%, T: 30.8%). The chloroplast genome consists of 8 rRNA, 37 tRNA, and 85 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis of N. thermarum fully resolved this taxon in a clade with Nymphaea capensis. The chloroplast genome of N. thermarum provides scientific guidance for its conservation genetics and also contributes genome resources for the phylogenetic relationship of Nymphaea.

Water lily (Nymphaea thermarum) genome reveals variable genomic signatures of ancient vascular cambium losses.

Project description:For more than 225 million y, all seed plants were woody trees, shrubs, or vines. Shortly after the origin of angiosperms ∼140 million y ago (MYA), the Nymphaeales (water lilies) became one of the first lineages to deviate from their ancestral, woody habit by losing the vascular cambium, the meristematic population of cells that produces secondary xylem (wood) and phloem. Many of the genes and gene families that regulate differentiation of secondary tissues also regulate the differentiation of primary xylem and phloem, which are produced by apical meristems and retained in nearly all seed plants. Here, we sequenced and assembled a draft genome of the water lily Nymphaea thermarum, an emerging system for the study of early flowering plant evolution, and compared it to genomes from other cambium-bearing and cambium-less lineages (e.g., monocots and Nelumbo). This revealed lineage-specific patterns of gene loss and divergence. Nymphaea is characterized by a significant contraction of the HD-ZIP III transcription factors, specifically loss of REVOLUTA, which influences cambial activity in other angiosperms. We also found the Nymphaea and monocot copies of cambium-associated CLE signaling peptides display unique substitutions at otherwise highly conserved amino acids. Nelumbo displays no obvious divergence in cambium-associated genes. The divergent genomic signatures of convergent loss of vascular cambium reveals that even pleiotropic genes can exhibit unique divergence patterns in association with independent events of trait loss. Our results shed light on the evolution of herbaceousness-one of the key biological innovations associated with the earliest phases of angiosperm evolution.

Seed storage behaviour of tropical members of the aquatic basal angiosperm genus Nymphaea L. (Nymphaeaceae).

Project description:Eighteen native species of Nymphaea (waterlilies) inhabit a range of freshwater wetlands in northern Australia, which are threatened by increased development and the potential impacts of climate change. To investigate conservation seed banking of these vulnerable species, we aimed to characterize their seed storage physiology by determining (i) seed desiccation tolerance and (ii) the effects of moisture content and storage temperature on seed germination and viability. Seeds of N. immutabilis, N. lukei, N. macrosperma and N. violacea (including multiple collections of three species) were placed in experimental storage at a range of temperatures (25°C, 5°C, -20°C and -190°C) following pre-equilibration at different RHs (15%, 30%, 50%, 70% or 95%). Seeds were also experimentally aged at 60% RH and 45°C to assess comparative longevity. We found seeds of all species to be desiccation tolerant. However, the responses of seeds to experimental storage conditions were complex and variable between species and collections of the same species, and seeds of many species/collections were short-lived across many of the storage treatments. In many cases decreasing storage temperature did not increase longevity. Additional protocol development is necessary before we can have confidence that ex situ seed banking is a viable long-term germplasm conservation strategy for Nymphaea.

Complete chloroplast genome of Lycium ferocissimum (Solanaceae), a species native to South Africa.

Project description:Lycium ferocissimum, known as African boxthorn or boxthorn, is a shrub in the Solanaceae family. In this study, we characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of L. ferocissimum using genome skimming data. It had a circular mapping molecular with the length of 155,894 bp, with a large single-copy region (LSC, 86,536 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,406 bp) separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 25,476 bp). The cp genome encodes 113 unique genes, consisting of 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes, with 20 duplicated genes in the IR regions. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that L. ferocissimum is sister to the other three Lycium species.

Complete Genome Sequences of 20 Nontyphoidal Salmonella Isolates from Rwanda.

Project description:Nontyphoidal Salmonella enterica strains are major foodborne pathogens with global public health importance. Foodborne salmonellosis can be life-threatening, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. We report the complete genome sequences of 20 nontyphoidal Salmonella enterica strains isolated in Rwanda. The reported 20 bacterial chromosomes and 8 plasmids each belong to 1 of 9 nontyphoidal Salmonella serotypes.
