Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Hemsleya zhejiangensis (cucurbitaceae), a rare and endangered wild plant species in Zhejiang province, China.

ABSTRACT: Hemsleya zhejiangensis is a rare and endangered plant species which is listed as a key protected wild plant in Zhejiang province, China. In our present study, we assembled the complete chloroplast (CP) genome of H. zhejiangensis using high-throughput sequencing data. The whole genome sequence of H. zhejiangensis is 157,289 bp in size, with a GC content of 37.1%. Sequencing analyses reveal that the CP genome encodes 133 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, 37 tRNA genes, and four pseudogenes. Phylogenetic analysis results indicate that H. zhejiangensis is clustered with H. lijiangensis, with a support value of 100%, and they are sister to the three Gynostemma species.

Project description:Phalaenopsis zhejiangensis is a rare and endangered plant species with extremely small populations. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. zhejiangensis was assembled, its structural organization was described and comparative genomic analyses was carried out. The cp genome of P. zhejiangensis is 143,547 bp in length, with a GC content of 37.2%, which includes a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 24,464 bp separated by a small single-copy region of 10,764 bp and a large single-copy region of 83,856 bp. The cp genome contains 126 genes, consisting of 80 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNAs, and eight ribosomal RNAs. Six protein-coding genes, including ψndhB (two copies), ψndhD, ψndhG, ψndhK, and ψndhI, are identified as pseudogenes. Another six ndh genes, ndhA, ndhC, ndhE, ndhF, ndhH, and ndhJ, are missing from the plastid genome. A total of 41 cp simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified, including 40 mono-nucleotides and one di-nucleotides. Phylogenic analysis revealed P. zhejiangensis was nested inside the Phalaenopsis species and sister to P. wilsonii. The assembly and analysis of P. zhejiangensis cp genome will provide essential data for further study of taxonomy and systematics of Orchidaceae.
