Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Euphorbia lathyris (Euphorbiaceae), a traditional Chinese medicine.

ABSTRACT: Euphorbia lathyris is a biennial herb plant in China. The seed is commonly used in well-known traditional Chinese medicine, and it has anti-tumor, p-glycoprotein and tyrosinase inhibitory activities. The length of circular chloroplast genome was 162,571 bp, containing a large single-copy region of 91,946 bp, a small single-copy region of 17,301 bp and two inverted repeat regions of 26,662 bp. The chloroplast genome contained 128 genes, including 85 protein-coding, 8 rRNA, and 35 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that E. lathyris, E. kansui and E. esulaare are closely related to each other.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Euphorbia pekinensis Rupr. (Euphorbiaceae).

Project description:Euphorbia pekinensis Rupr. 1859 is a medicinal herb endemic to China and distributed throughout the country, particularly across the northern part of the mainland. However, the systematic classification of Euphorbiaceae remains controversial. Therefore, studying the chloroplast genome of E. pekinensis is crucial for the resolution of this taxonomic dispute, clarification of the systematic status of Euphorbia, and establishment of an accurate classification system for Euphorbiaceae. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of E. pekinensis using Illumina sequencing technology and annotated it using GeSeq. The complete chloroplast genome was 162,002-bp-long with a guanine-cytosine (GC) content of 35.7%. It included one large single-copy (LSC), one small single-copy (SSC), and two inverted repeat sequence regions (IRa and IRb), which were 90,225 bp, 18,067 bp, and 26,855 bp in length, respectively, and are indicative of a typical tetrad structure. The genome encoded 129 functional genes, comprising 85 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. According to the maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree that was constructed using 16 complete chloroplast genomes, E. pekinensis was found to be closely related to E. ebracteolata. Therefore, the complete chloroplast genome of E. pekinensis provides a better understanding of Euphorbia genetics.

The complete chloroplast genome of Euphorbia prostrata (Euphorbiaceae).

Project description:Euphorbia prostrata Aiton 1789, an annual herb, is native to tropical and subtropical Americas and was introduced into many parts of the Old-World including Korea. We determined the genomic characteristics of the complete chloroplast genome of E. prostrata with a de novo assembly strategy. The complete chloroplast genome was 162,858 bp long, and harbored 86 protein coding, 37 tRNA and 8 rRNA. The genome showed the typical quadripartite structure consisting of a large single copy (LSC) (90,580 bp), a small single copy (SSC) (18,570 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) (26,854 bp). The phylogenetic tree inferred from chloroplast genomes of 25 taxa, which belong to Euphorbiaceae indicated that the Euphorbia is a monophyletic group and E. prostrata is closely related with E. humifusa, E. thymifolia and E. hirta, forming a well-supported clade. Our findings can be valuable for understanding the phylogenetic relationships and the evolution in Euphorbiaceae and will provide basic information for future studies on E. prostrata from genomic perspective.
