Characterization of the plastid genome of Cratoxylum species (Hypericaceae) and new insights into phylogenetic relationships.

ABSTRACT: To expand the genomic information of Hypericaceae, particularly on Cratoxylum, we characterized seven novel complete plastid genomes (plastomes) of five Cratoxylum and two of its allied taxa, including C. arborescens, C. formosum subsp. formosum, C. formosum subsp. pruniflorum, C. maingayi, C. sumatranum, Hypericum hookerianum, and Triadenum breviflorum. For Cratoxylum, the plastomes ranged from 156,962 to 157,792 bp in length. Genomic structure and gene contents were observed in the five plastomes, and were comprised of 128-129 genes, which includes 83-84 protein-coding (CDS), 37 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. The plastomes of H. hookerianum and T. breviflorum were 138,260 bp and 167,693 bp, respectively. A total of 110 and 127 genes included 72 and 82 CDS, 34 and 37 tRNA, as well as four and eight rRNA genes. The reconstruction of the phylogenetic trees using maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) trees based on the concatenated CDS and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences that were analyzed separately have revealed the same topology structure at genus level; Cratoxylum is monophyletic. However, C. formosum subsp. pruniflorum was not clustered together with its origin, raising doubt that it should be treated as a distinct species, C. pruniflorum based on molecular evidence that was supported by morphological descriptions.

Project description:BackgroundComparative genomic analysis exhibits dynamic evolution of plastid genome (plastome) in the clusioid clade of Malpighiales, which comprise five families, including multiple inversions and gene losses. Little is known about the plastome evolution in Hypericaceae, a large family in the clade. Only the plastome of one species, Cratoxylum cochinchinense, has been published.ResultsWe generated a complete plastome sequence for Hypericum ascyron, providing the first complete plastome from the tribe Hypericeae (Hypericaceae). The H. ascyron plastome exhibits dynamic changes in gene and intron content, structure, and sequence divergence compared to the C. cochinchinense plastome from the tribe Cratoxyleae (Hypericaceae). Transcriptome data determined the evolutionary fate of the missing plastid genes infA, rps7, rps16, rpl23, and rpl32 in H. ascyron. Putative functional transfers of infA, rps7, and rpl32 were detected to the nucleus, whereas rps16 and rpl23 were substituted by nuclear-encoded homologs. The plastid rpl32 was integrated into the nuclear-encoded SODcp gene. Our findings suggested that the transferred rpl32 had undergone subfunctionalization by duplication rather than alternative splicing. The H. ascyron plastome rearrangements involved seven inversions, at least three inverted repeat (IR) boundary shifts, which generated gene relocations and duplications. Accelerated substitution rates of plastid genes were observed in the H. ascyron plastome compared with that of C. cochinchinense plastid genes. The higher substitution rates in the accD and clpP were correlated with structural change, including a large insertion of amino acids and losses of two introns, respectively. In addition, we found evidence of positive selection of the clpP, matK, and rps3 genes in the three branches related to H. ascyron. In particular, the matK gene was repeatedly under selection within the family Hypericaceae. Selective pressure in the H. ascyron matK gene was associated with the loss of trnK-UUU and relocation into the IR region.ConclusionsThe Hypericum ascyron plastome sequence provides valuable information for improving the understanding of plastome evolution among the clusioid of the Malpighiales. Evidence for intracellular gene transfer from the plastid to the nucleus was detected in the nuclear transcriptome, providing insight into the evolutionary fate of plastid genes in Hypericaceae.

Project description:Buckwheat (Fagopyrum genus, Polygonaceae), is an annual or perennial, herbaceous or semi-shrub dicotyledonous plant. There are mainly three cultivated buckwheat species, common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) is widely cultivated in Asia, Europe, and America, while Tartary buckwheat (F. tataricum) and F. cymosum (also known as F. dibotrys) are mainly cultivated in China. The genus Fagopyrum is taxonomically confusing due to the complex phenotypes of different Fagopyrum species. In this study, the chloroplast (cp) genomes of three Fagopyrum species, F. longistylum, F. leptopodum, F. urophyllum, were sequenced, and five published cp genomes of Fagopyrum were retrieved for comparative analyses. We determined the sequence differentiation, repeated sequences of the cp genomes, and the phylogeny of Fagopyrum species. The eight cp genomes ranged, gene number, gene order, and GC content were presented. Most of variations of Fagopyrum species cp genomes existed in the LSC and SSC regions. Among eight Fagopyrum chloroplast genomes, six variable regions (ndhF-rpl32, trnS-trnG, trnC, trnE-trnT, psbD, and trnV) were detected as promising DNA barcodes. In addition, a total of 66 different SSR (simple sequence repeats) types were found in the eight Fagopyrum species, ranging from 8 to 16 bp. Interestingly, many SSRs showed significant differences especially in some photosystem genes, which provided valuable information for understanding the differences in light adaptation among different Fagopyrum species. Genus Fagopyrum has shown a typical branch that is distinguished from the Rumex, Rheum, and Reynoutria, which supports the unique taxonomic status in Fagopyrum among the Polygonaceae. In addition, phylogenetic analysis based on the cp genomes strongly supported the division of eight Fagopyrum species into two independent evolutionary directions, suggesting that the separation of cymosum group and urophyllum group may be earlier than the flower type differentiation in Fagopyrum plants. The results of the chloroplast-based phylogenetic tree were further supported by the matK and Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequences of 17 Fagopyrum species, which may help to further anchor the taxonomic status of other members in the urophyllum group in Fagopyrum. This study provides valuable information and high-quality cp genomes for identifying species and evolutionary analysis for future Fagopyrum research.
