The complete mitochondrial genome sequences of Bupleurum falcatum (Apiales: Apiaceae).

ABSTRACT: Bupleurum falcatum has a long history of use in traditional oriental medicine. The first complete mitochondrial genome sequences of B. falcatum were 463,792 bp based on 494,582 aligned reads. A total of 51 genes was annotated including 32 protein-coding genes, 16 tRNA genes, and three rRNA genes. In a comparison of B. falcatum and carrot (Daucus carota) revealed that the former species has four exclusive genes, but lacks six genes present in the latter. The compositional structure and phylogenetic relationships indicated that the mitochondrial genome of B. falcatum is similar to that of D. carota.

The Complete Chloroplast Genome of the Hare's Ear Root, Bupleurum falcatum: Its Molecular Features.

Project description:Bupleurum falcatum, which belongs to the family Apiaceae, has long been applied for curative treatments, especially as a liver tonic, in herbal medicine. The chloroplast (cp) genome has been an ideal model to perform the evolutionary and comparative studies because of its highly conserved features and simple structure. The Apiaceae family is taxonomically close to the Araliaceae family and there have been numerous complete chloroplast genome sequences reported in the Araliaceae family, while little is known about the Apiaceae family. In this study, the complete sequence of the B. falcatum chloroplast genome was obtained. The full-length of the cp genome is 155,989 nucleotides with a 37.66% overall guanine-cytosine (GC) content and shows a quadripartite structure composed of three nomenclatural regions: a large single-copy (LSC) region, a small single-copy (SSC) region, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions. The genome occupancy is 85,912-bp, 17,517-bp, and 26,280-bp for LSC, SSC, and IR, respectively. B. falcatum was shown to contain 111 unique genes (78 for protein-coding, 29 for tRNAs, and four for rRNAs, respectively) on its chloroplast genome. Genic comparison found that B. falcatum has no pseudogenes and has two gene losses, accD in the LSC and ycf15 in the IRs. A total of 55 unique tandem repeat sequences were detected in the B. falcatum cp genome. This report is the first to describe the complete chloroplast genome sequence in B. falcatum and will open up further avenues of research to understand the evolutionary panorama and the chloroplast genome conformation in related plant species.

Analysis of codon usage patterns in Bupleurum falcatum chloroplast genome.

Project description:ObjectiveIn order to distinguish the traditional Chinese medicine Bupleurum falcatum and its adulterants effectively and develop a better understanding of the factors affecting synonymous codon usage, codon usage patterns of chloroplast genome, we determine the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of B. falcatum and clarify the main factors that influence codon usage patterns of 78 genes in B. falcatum chloroplast genome.MethodsThe total genomic DNA of fresh leaves from a single individual of B. falcatum was extracted with EASYspin plus Total DNA Isolation Kit and 2 μg genome DNA was sequenced using Illumina Hiseq 2500 Sequencing Platform. The cp genome of B. falcatum was reconstructed with MITObim v1.8 and annotated in the program CPGAVAS2 with default parameters. Python script and Codon W were used to calculate the codon usage bias parameters.ResultsThe full length of B. falcatum cp genome was 155 851 bp, 132 different genes were annotated in this cp genome containing 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The codon usage models tended to use A/T-ending codons. The neutrality plot, ENC plot, PR2-Bias plot and correspondence analysis showed that both compositional constraint under selection and mutation could affect the codon usage models in B. falcatum cp genome. Furthermore, three optimal codons were identified and most of these three optimal codons ended with G/U.ConclusionThe cp genome of B. falcatum has been characterized and the codon usage bias in B. falcatum cp genome is influenced by natural selection, mutation pressure and nucleotide composition. The results will provide much more barcode information for species discrimination and lay a foundation for future research on codon optimization of exogenous genes, genetic engineering and molecular evolution in B. falcatum.

Identification of Bupleurum (Apiaceae) seeds by allele-specific PCR based on ITS sequences.

Project description:The traditional Chinese medicine Bupleuri radix (chaihu) is the dried roots of Bupleurum chinense and Bupleurum scorzonerifolium and many adulterants exist because of the differences in traditional understanding, medication habits and seed resources. Therefore, rapid and accurate identification methods for Bupleurum (Apiaceae) seeds are required. We analyzed the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of five common Bupleurum species to detect variations in them, including B. chinense, B. scorzonerifolium, B. marginatum var. stenophyllum, B. falcatum and B. smithii var.parvifolium. Based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ITS region, we designed five specific primer pairs and used these primers in an allele-specific PCR technique to establish a robust molecular identification method. The neighbor-joining (NJ) tree of ITS sequences showed that five Bupleurum species formed their own monophyly. Five specific primer pairs were designed and integrated into a specific PCR master mix and cycling conditions. The primer pair of BCF/R8 for B. chinense could amplify a specific identification band of 429 bp and the minimum detection limit of the 5 g mixture was about 5%; BSF/R11 for B. scorzonerifolium could amplify a specific 464 bp band and the minimum detection limit was about 5%; BMSF/R1 for B. marginatum var. stenophyllum could amplify a specific 344 bp band and the minimum detection limit was about 1%; BFF/R7 for B. falcatum could amplify a specific 137 bp band and the minimum detection limit was about 1%; BSPF/R1 for B. smithii var. parvifolium could amplify a specific 390 bp band. Subsequent analysis proved the reliable accuracy and good practicability of the five specific identification primers, indicating that the allele-specific primer PCR identification method can quickly identify Bupleurum seeds. The method elaborated in this study has the advantages of simple operation, good accuracy and high efficiency.

Assembly and comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Bupleurum chinense DC.

Project description:BackgroundBupleurum chinense(B. chinense) is a plant that is widely distributed globally and has strong pharmacological effects. Though the chloroplast(cp) genome of B. chinense has been studied, no reports regarding the mitochondrial(mt) genome of B. chinense have been published yet.ResultsThe mt genome of B.chinense was assembled and functionally annotated. The circular mt genome of B. chinense was 435,023 bp in length, and 78 genes, including 39 protein-coding genes, 35 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes, were annotated. Repeat sequences were analyzed and sites at which RNA editing would occur were predicted. Gene migration was observed to occur between the mt and cp genomes of B. chinense via the detection of homologous gene fragments. In addition, the sizes of plant mt genomes and their GC content were analyzed and compared. The sizes of mt genomes of plants varied greatly, but their GC content was conserved to a greater extent during evolution. Ka/Ks analysis was based on code substitutions, and the results showed that most of the coding genes were negatively selected. This indicates that mt genes were conserved during evolution.ConclusionIn this study, we assembled and annotated the mt genome of the medicinal plant B. chinense. Our findings provide extensive information regarding the mt genome of B. chinense, and help lay the foundation for future studies on the genetic variations, phylogeny, and breeding of B. chinense via an analysis of the mt genome.

Transcriptome Level Reveals the Triterpenoid Saponin Biosynthesis Pathway of Bupleurum falcatum L.

Project description:Bupleurum falcatum L. is frequently used in traditional herbal medicine in Asia. Saikosaponins (SSs) are the main bioactive ingredients of B.&nbsp;falcatum, but the biosynthetic pathway of SSs is unclear, and the biosynthesis of species-specific phytometabolites is little known. Here we resolved the transcriptome profiles of B.&nbsp;falcatum to identify candidate genes that might be involved in the biosynthesis of SSs. By isoform sequencing (Iso-Seq) analyses of the whole plant, a total of 26.98 Gb of nucleotides were obtained and 124,188 unigenes were identified, and 81,594 unigenes were successfully annotated. A total of 1033 unigenes of 20 families related to the mevalonate (MVA) pathway and methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway of the SS biosynthetic pathway were identified. The WGCNA (weighted gene co-expression network analysis) of these unigenes revealed that only the co-expression module of MEmagenta, which contained 343 unigenes, was highly correlated with the biosynthesis of SSs. Comparing differentially expressed gene analysis and the WGCNA indicated that 130 out of 343 genes of the MEmagenta module exhibited differential expression levels, and genes with the most "hubness" within this module were predicted. Manipulation of these genes might improve the biosynthesis of SSs.
