A chromosome-scale genome and transcriptomic analysis of the endangered tropical tree Vatica mangachapoi (Dipterocarpaceae).

ABSTRACT: Vatica mangachapoi is a tropical tree species native to Southeast Asia. It has long been valued as a timber species because the wood resists decay, but it is now considered vulnerable to extinction due to habitat loss and overexploitation. Here, we present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of V. mangachapoi that we created by combining data from PacBio long read sequencing with Hi-C proximity ligation and Illumina short-read sequencing. The assembled genome was 456.21 Mb, containing 11 chromosome and a BUSCO score of 93.4%. From the newly assembled genome, 46,811 protein-coding genes were predicted. Repetitive DNA accounted for 53% of the genome. Phylogenomic and gene family analyses showed that V. mangachapoi diverged from a common ancestor of Gossypium raimondii 70 million years ago. Transcriptome analyses found 227 genes that were differentially expressed in the leaves of plants grown in normal soil relative to plants grown in dry, coastal, sandy soil. For these genes, we identified three significantly enriched with GO terms: responses to organonitrogen compounds, chitin-triggered immunity, and wound response. This genome provides an important comparative benchmark not only for future conservation work on V. mangachapoi but also for phylogenomics work on Dipterocarpaceae.

Twenty microsatellite markers for the endangered Vatica mangachapoi (Dipterocarpaceae).

Project description:PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Microsatellite markers were developed for Vatica mangachapoi (Dipterocarpaceae), an endangered species indigenous to Southeast Asia and southern China. METHODS AND RESULTS:Twenty microsatellite markers, including 12 polymorphic markers, were identified from V. mangachapoi using high-throughput sequencing. Polymorphism at each marker was evaluated using 87 individuals from three natural populations. The number of alleles per polymorphic locus ranged from six to 15, and the observed and expected heterozygosity varied from 0.000 to 0.926 and from 0.177 to 0.864, respectively. These markers were transferred successfully to the endangered species V. guangxiensis. CONCLUSIONS:These markers may be used to investigate the genetic diversity and gene flow of V. mangachapoi and V. guangxiensis.

The first complete chloroplast sequence of a major tropical timber tree in the Meranti family: Vatica odorata (Dipterocarpaceae).

Project description:Dipterocarpaceae are one of the economically most important native tree families for timber production in tropical Asia. We report the complete chloroplast genome of Vatica odorata (Griff.) Symington, the first in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The chloroplast genome was 151,465?bp in length, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,538?bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 20,095?bp, separated by two inverted repeat (IRs) regions of 23,916?bp. It contained 126 genes, including 90 coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content was 37.2%, and 43.1%, 35.2%, and 33.3% in the IRs, LSC and SSC regions, respectively. A phylogenetic tree showed Vatica accumulated more variation when compared with Tilia, and that internal relationships in Malvales need to be reassessed.

Intraspecific Variation of Samara Dispersal Traits in the Endangered Tropical Tree Hopea hainanensis (Dipterocarpaceae).

Project description:Propagule dispersal is a crucial life history stage, which affects population recruitment and regeneration as well as community structure and functions. The windborne process of samara dispersal is affected not only by samara traits and other plant traits, but also by environmental factors. Therefore, studying samara traits related to its dispersal and intraspecific variation in relation to other plant traits and environmental factors could help to understand population distribution and dynamics. Hopea hainanensis, a Dipterocarpaceae tree species dominant in lowland rainforests in Hainan (China) but endangered due to anthropogenic disturbances, is dispersed mainly by wind because of its sepal-winged samara. Here, we measured dispersal-related intraspecific samara traits of H. hainanensis, and analyzed their variation and correlation in relation to plant height, DBH (diameter at breast height), and elevation plant location. Great variations in the samara traits existed, and the variations were larger within than among individuals, which indicated a "bet-hedging" strategy of this species. Plant height, DBH, and elevation explained slight variation in the samara traits. Samara dispersal potential is mainly affected by the samara mass and morphological traits. Samara settling velocity was significantly positively correlated with fruit mass, seed mass, length and width, as well as samara wing loading, and negatively correlated with wing mass ratio, wing area, and wing aspect ratio. Substantial proportions of intraspecific variation in samara dispersal are explained by the samara mass and morphological traits. Natural regeneration with human-aided dispersal is necessary for recovering the H. hainanensis population. This finding contributes to the generalization of trait-based plant ecology, modeling of seed dispersal in tropical forests, and conservation and recovery of rare and endangered species such as H. hainanensis.

Genetic diversity and population structure in the endangered tree Hopea hainanensis (Dipterocarpaceae) on Hainan Island, China.

Project description:Hopea hainanensis Merrill & Chun (Dipterocarpaceae) is an endangered tree species restricted to Hainan Island, China and a small part of Northern Vietnam. On Hainan Island, it is an important indicator species for tropical forests. However, because of its highly valued timber, H. hainanensis has suffered from overexploitation, leading to a sharp population decline. To facilitate the conservation of this species, genetic diversity and population structure were assessed using 12 SSR markers for 10 populations sampled across Hainan Island. Compared to non-threatened Hopea species, H. hainanensis exhibited reduced overall genetic diversity and increased population differentiation (AMOVA: FST = 0.23). Bayesian model-based clustering and principal coordinate analysis consistently assigned H. hainanensis individuals into three genetic groups, which were found to be widespread and overlapping geographically. A Mantel test found no correlation between genetic and geographical distances (r = 0.040, p = 0.418). The observed genetic structure suggests that long-distance gene flow occurred among H. hainanensis populations prior to habitat fragmentation. A recent population bottleneck was revealed, which may cause rapid loss of genetic diversity and increased differentiation across populations. Based on these findings, appropriate strategies for the long-term conservation of the endangered species H. hainanensis are proposed.

Project description:Tridacna crocea is an ecologically important marine bivalve inhabiting tropical coral reef waters. High quality and available genomic resources will help us understand the population structure and genetic diversity of giant clams. This study reports a high-quality chromosome-scale T. crocea genome sequence of 1.30 Gb, with a scaffold N50 and contig N50 of 56.38 Mb and 1.29 Mb, respectively, which was assembled by combining PacBio long reads and Hi-C sequencing data. Repetitive sequences cover 71.60% of the total length, and a total of 25,440 protein-coding genes were annotated. A total of 1,963 non-coding RNA (ncRNA) were determined in the T. crocea genome, including 62 micro RNA (miRNA), 58 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), 83 ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and 1,760 transfer RNA (tRNA). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that giant clams diverged from oyster about 505.7 Mya during the evolution of bivalves. The genome assembly presented here provides valuable genomic resources to enhance our understanding of the genetic diversity and population structure of giant clams.

A chromosome-level genome assembly of Artocarpus nanchuanensis (Moraceae), an extremely endangered fruit tree.

Project description:Artocarpus nanchuanensis (Moraceae), which is naturally distributed in China, is a representative and extremely endangered tree species. In this study, we obtained a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly and annotation information for A. nanchuanensis using integrated approaches, including Illumina, Nanopore sequencing platform, and Hi-C. A total of 128.71 Gb of raw Nanopore reads were generated from 20-kb libraries, and 123.38 Gb of clean reads were obtained after filtration with 160.34× coverage depth and a 17.48-kb average read length. The final assembled A. nanchuanensis genome was 769.44 Mb with a 2.09 Mb contig N50, and 99.62% (766.50 Mb) of the assembled data was assigned to 28 pseudochromosomes. In total, 39,596 genes (95.10%, 39,596/41,636) were successfully annotated, and 129 metabolic pathways were detected. Plants disease resistance/insect resistance genes, plant-pathogen interaction metabolic pathways, and abundant biosynthesis pathways of vitamins, flavonoid, and gingerol were detected. Unigene reveals the basis of species-specific functions, and gene family in contraction and expansion generally implies strong functional differences in the evolution. Compared with other related species, a total of 512 unigenes, 309 gene families in contraction, and 559 gene families in expansion were detected in A. nanchuanensis. This A. nanchuanensis genome information provides an important resource to expand our understanding of the unique biological processes, nutritional and medicinal benefits, and evolutionary relationship of this species. The study of gene function and metabolic pathway in A. nanchuanensis may reveal the theoretical basis of a special trait in A. nanchuanensis and promote the study and utilization of its rare medicinal value.

Population structure and demographic history of a tropical lowland rainforest tree species Shorea parvifolia (Dipterocarpaceae) from Southeastern Asia.

Project description:Distribution of tropical rainforests in Southeastern Asia has changed over geo-logical time scale, due to movement of tectonic plates and/or global climatic changes. Shorea parvifolia is one of the most common tropical lowland rainforest tree species in Southeastern Asia. To infer population structure and demographic history of S. parvifolia, as indicators of temporal changes in the distribution and extent of tropical rainforest in this region, we studied levels and patterns of nucleotide polymorphism in the following five nuclear gene regions: GapC, GBSSI, PgiC, SBE2, and SODH. Seven populations from peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and eastern Borneo were included in the analyses. STRUCTURE analysis revealed that the investigated populations are divided into two groups: Sumatra-Malay and Borneo. Furthermore, each group contained one admixed population. Under isolation with migration model, divergence of the two groups was estimated to occur between late Pliocene (2.6 MYA) and middle Pleistocene (0.7 MYA). The log-likelihood ratio tests of several demographic models strongly supported model with population expansion and low level of migration after divergence of the Sumatra-Malay and Borneo groups. The inferred demographic history of S. parvifolia suggested the presence of a scarcely forested land bridge on the Sunda Shelf during glacial periods in the Pleistocene and predominance of tropical lowland rainforest at least in Sumatra and eastern Borneo.
