First Record of Comparative Plastid Genome Analysis and Phylogenetic Relationships among Corylopsis Siebold & Zucc. (Hamamelidaceae).

ABSTRACT: Corylopsis Siebold & Zucc. (Hamamelidaceae) is widely used as a horticultural plant and comprises approximately 25 species in East Asia. Molecular research is essential to distinguish Corylopsis species, which are morphologically similar. Molecular research has been conducted using a small number of genes but not in Corylopsis. Plastid genomes of Corylopsis species (Corylopsis gotoana, Corylopsis pauciflora, and Corylopsis sinensis) were sequenced using next-generation sequencing techniques. Repeats and nucleotide diversity that could be used as DNA markers were also investigated. A phylogenetic investigation was carried out using 79 protein-coding genes to infer the evolutionary relationships within the genus Corylopsis. By including new plastomes, the overall plastid genome structure of Corylopsis was similar. Simple sequence repeats of 73-106 SSRs were identified in the protein-coding genes of the plastid genomes, and 33-40 long repeat sequences were identified in the plastomes. The Pi value of the rpl33_rps18 region, an intergenic spacer, was the highest. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that Corylopsis is a monophyletic group and Loropetalum is closely related to Corylopsis. C. pauciflora, C. gotoana, and C. spicata formed a clade distributed in Japan, whereas C. sinensis, C. glandulifera, and C. velutina formed a clade that was distributed in China.

Project description:Vicatia thibetica de Boiss.: a herb in the family Apiaceae, has been used for over a hundred years as an essential medicinal and edible plant in the Bai ethnic group of Dali City. However, due to the lack of study on plastid genomes of V. thibetica, studies of comparison and phylogeny with other related species remain scarce. In the current study, we assembled, annotated, and characterized the entire chloroplast (cp) genome of V. thibetica through high-throughput sequencing for the first time, compared with published whole chloroplast genomes from the same family. A phylogenetic analysis of the chloroplast genome has also been performed. The whole chloroplast genome of V. thibetica was 145,796 in size and consisted of a large single-copy region (LSC; 92,186 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC; 17,452 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs; 18,079 bp) forming a circular quadripartite structure. Annotation resulted in 128 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 35 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), eight ribosomal genes (rRNAs), and one pseudogene. Repeat sequence analysis displayed V. thibetica plastid genome contains 75 simple repeats, 37 long repeats, and 29 tandem repeats. Compared with the cp genome of other Apiaceae species, a common feature was that the IR regions of the genome were more conservative compared to the LSC and SSC regions. Highly variable hotspots included rps16, ndhC-trnV-UAC, clpP, ycf1, and ndhB in the genomes, which supply valuable molecular markers for phylogeny, identification, and classification in the Apiaceae family. The results of phylogenetic analysis strongly supported the genus Vicatia as an independent genus in the family Apiaceae, in which the closest affinities to the related species of Angelica, Peucedanum, and Ligusticum were observed. In conclusion, the first chloroplast genome of Vicatia reported in this study may improve our understanding of phylogenetic relationship of different genera of Apiaceae. In addition, the current data will be valuable as chloroplast genomic resource for species identification and population genetics.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12298-022-01154-y.

Project description:BackgroundPotentilla L. and Dasiphora L. are predominantly perennial herbs, occasionally manifesting as annuals or shrubs, primarily found in the northern temperate zone. However, taxonomic classification within this group remains contentious, particularly regarding genus boundaries and species delineation. Therefore, this study sequenced and analyzed the complete plastid genomes of 19 species from Potentilla and Dasiphora, comparing them with five previously published plastid sequences. Our objectives included reconstructing phylogenetic relationships within Potentilla and Dasiphora and investigating cytonuclear discordance among them.ResultsThese plastid genomes were highly conserved in structure, GC content, and overall genome composition, comprising 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Notably, all Dasiphora plastid genomes lacked the unique intron for rpl2. Comparative genomic analyses revealed that variations in plastid genome size were due to differences in the lengths of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions. The IR region was predominantly conserved, while non-coding regions exhibited higher variability than coding regions. We screened SSR and identified seven highly variable loci that serve as potential molecular markers, offering valuable insights into the intergeneric relationships between Potentilla and Dasiphora. Phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear (ITS, ETS) and cytoplasmic (plastid, mitochondrial) genes confirmed the monophyly of Potentilla and Dasiphora, with results largely consistent with previous studies and supported by robust reliability metrics. We identified cytonuclear conflicts within Potentilla, which frequently disrupt its monophyly. We hypothesize that these conflicts may result from interspecific hybridization or incomplete lineage sorting events during the evolutionary history of the genus.ConclusionsThis study offers a theoretical foundation for advancing molecular identification and phylogenetic research on Potentilla and Dasiphora species. However, future work could benefit from greater detail on the criteria for selecting mitochondrial gene sequences and nrDNA datasets.
