Phylogenetic analysis using the maximum-likelihood algorithm showed that E. flava is sister to a clade with one species in the genus Eulophia.
Project description:Camellia gigantocarpa Hu et T. C. Huang, belonging to the Theaceae family, is an excellent landscape tree species with high ornamental value. It is also an important woody oil-bearing plant with high economic value. This study reports the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. gigantocarpa (GenBank accession number: MZ054232). Its whole chloroplast genome is 156,953 bp long with an overall GC content of 37.31%, which is composed of a large single copy region (86,631 bp), a small single copy region (18,402 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (25,960 bp each). A total of 135 genes were predicted in this genome, namely eight ribosomal RNA genes, 37 transfer RNA genes, and 90 protein-coding genes. Based on maximum likelihood analysis results, we found that the Camellia species are clustered into a distinct branch, and the phylogenetic relationships among C. gigantocarpa, C. crapnelliana, and C. kissii were the closest.
Project description:Camellia osmantha is a new species of the Camellia genus discovered in Nanning, Guangxi, China, in 2012. It can be used as an excellent woody oil crop. There is little related research on this species in China and abroad, and its genome information is still lacking. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. osmantha was first reported (GenBank number: MZ128138). The whole chloroplast genome is 156,981 bp in length with a GC content of 37.28%, and it is composed of a large single copy (LSC) region of 86,647 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,284 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,025 bp each. The genome contains a total of 135 functional genes, including 37 transfer RNA genes, 90 protein-coding genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. The maximum likelihood analysis based on 21 chloroplast genomes showed that C. osmantha and C. oleifera (MF541730.2) were the most closely related.
Project description:Abstract Camellia atrothea H.T. Chang, H.S. Wang & B.H. Chen 1983 is a native Camellia species in China, which has significant economic and breeding values. Here, we assembled and analyzed the complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. atrothea based on the whole genome sequencing data from Illumina NovaSeq6000 platform. Results show that the complete chloroplast genome of C. atrothea is 157,099 bp in length, and comprises a large single-copy (LSC, 86,643 bp) region, a small single-copy (SSC, 18,276 bp) region, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 26,090 bp) region. Annotation of the C. atrothea chloroplast genome predicts a total of 133 genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content accounts for 37.30% of the genome, which is clearly consistent with that of other previously published Camellia species from section Thea. Phylogenetic analyses of the whole chloroplast genome sequences of 14 Camellia species using Actinidia chinensis as outgroup reveals that C. atrothea has a close relationship with C. leptophylla.
Project description:Camellia granthamiana is a rare and endangered plant peculiar to China, and a total of 5 plants have been found at present. Based on the next generation sequencing, the whole chloroplast (Cp) genome of (Camellia granthamiana Sealy) of Camellia oleifera was constructed.In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Camellia granthamiana was assembled based on next generation sequencing.The cp genome was 157,001 bp in length, including a large single copy (LSC) region of 70,387 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,296 bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 52,082 bp. The genome contained 135 genes, including 90 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. The majority of these gene species occurred as a single copy.
Project description:Camellia leyeensis Chang & Y. C. Zhong is a plant belonging to the genus Camellia. To determine its correct taxonomic status and better understand its molecular phylogenetic and genetic diversity, we studied the chloroplast genome of this species. Here, we report and characterize the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of C. leyeensis by using Illumina paired-end sequencing data. The chloroplast genome was determined to be 157,063 bp in length with a GC content of 37.30%. The genome contained 136 genes, including 91 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The sequence contained a large single-copy region (LSC, 86,661 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,284 bp), and two inverted repeat sequences (IRs, 26,059 bp, each). The GC content of the IR regions (42.96%) was higher than that of the SSC region (30.6%) and LSC region (35.31%). Phylogenetic analysis suggested that Camellia leyeensis is closely related to C. anlungensis with 96% bootstrap support. This chloroplast genome would be helpful for the phylogeny and conservation of Camellia.
