Isozyme variation and phylogenetic relationships in Vicia subgenus Cracca (Fabaceae).

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

The phylogenetic relationships among 27 vetch species belonging to the subgenus Cracca of the genus Vicia were studied in comparison with three species of Lathyrus section Lathyrus on the basis of isozyme variation.

Methods

Isozymes encoded by 15 putative loci of ten enzymes were resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isozyme variation was analysed by using parsimony and neighbour-joining methods.

Key results

The analyses revealed 63 parsimony-informative and 36 species-specific orthozymes. Of the latter, 23 are monomophic and are suitable for identification of V. benghalensis, V. palaestina, V. dumetorum, V. pisiformis, V. sylvatica, V. onobrychioides, V. cappadocica, V. cretica, V. articulata, V. tetrasperma, V. ervilia, V. hirsuta and V. loiseleurii. Polymorphism with heterozygous and homozygous isozyme genotypes was found for V. cracca, V. tenuifolia, V. ochroleuca, V. villosa, V. sylvatica, V. cassubica, V. sparsiflora, V. megalotropis, V. altissima, V. onobrychioides, V. cassia, V. cretica and L. heterophyllus, reflecting outcrossing in these species. By contrast, V. benghalensis, V. palaestina, V. disperma, V. dumetorum, V. pisiformis, V. orobus, V. pauciflora, V. tetrasperma and V. loiseleurii had only homozygous isozyme genotypes at polymorphic loci. Isozyme-based phylogenetic trees are presented.

Conclusions

Sections Cracca, Ervum, Pedunculatae and Lenticula of traditional taxonomy are monophyletic groups, whereas sections Oroboideae (= Vicilla) and Panduratae appear polyphyletic and section Cassubicae is split into two species-couples linked at a low level of support. Treatment of ervoid species in a separate subgenus Ervum is not supported because of its polyphyly.

Project description:BackgroundThe structure of chloroplast genomes (cpDNAs) in Fabaceae (Fab.) has undergone significant evolutionary modifications. Within the Papilionoideae (Pap.), the emergence of the Inverted Repeat-Lacking Clade (IRLC) represents a major genomic alteration. However, the molecular evolution and phylogenetic relationships within Pap. remain poorly resolved due to limited molecular data and incomplete research, highlighting the need for systematic investigation.PurposeThis study presents an in-depth analysis of the cpDNAs within the Pap., with the aim of unraveling the molecular evolution and phylogenetic interconnections among its species.MethodsComplete cpDNAs of 18 Pap. species were sequenced using the Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform, followed by assembly and annotation. Comparative genomic analyses were conducted to elucidate structural variations and phylogenetic relationships.ResultsThe research has uncovered significant differences in the structure and characteristics of the cpDNAs within the Pap.. The lengths of the cpDNAs of 18 species range from 121,190 bp to 158,539 bp, and they contain between 107 and 112 unique genes. Five species, namely Desmodium elegans and Indigofera bracteata, exhibit a typical quadripartite structure, while thirteen species from genera such as Astragalus (Ast.), Hedysarum (Hed.), and Caragana (Car.) are grouped within the Inverted Repeat-Lacking Clade (IRLC). Genetic characteristic analysis revealed a plentiful presence of SSR loci, with single-nucleotide repeats and dinucleotide (A/T) repeats being the most predominant. Notably, the cpDNAs of five species including D. elegans have experienced significant rearrangements. For example, an inversion of approximately 23 kilobase (kb) pairs was observed in Pueraria peduncularis and Sophora moorcroftiana. These species exhibit pronounced differences in their non-coding regions. Comparative genomic variations at cpDNA sites were identified. Moreover, by using D. elegans as a reference, six genes (ycf4, clpP, ycf1, trnI-GAU, accD, rpl32) displayed high nucleotide polymorphism (Pi > 0.1), and the Ka/Ks ratio for all protein-coding genes was determined to be less than 1. The topological structure of the constructed phylogenetic tree of 85 species was basically consistent with that of Pap.. Seven main clades were formed and relatively high bootstrap values were exhibited, further clarifying the evolutionary relationships among them.ConclusionThis study provides novel insights into the molecular evolution and phylogeny of Pap., offering a foundational resource for future taxonomic and evolutionary research.
