The complete chloroplast genome of Pholidota yunnanensis Rolfe (Orchidaceae: Coelogyninae).

ABSTRACT: In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Pholidota yunnanensis is presented, which represents first complete plastid genome of the genus Pholidota in the subtribe Coelogyninae. The chloroplast genome size is 159,729 bp, including a GC content of 37.3% and 135 genes (89 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes). The genome structure is typical quadripartite, consisting of a pair of inverted repeat regions (26,638 bp) separated by a large single-copy region (LSC, 87,610 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,843 bp). Phylogenetic analysis among 15 species based on cp genomes recovered a well-supported phylogenetic tree and indicated a close relationship between Pholidota yunnanensis and Pleione bulbocodioides.

Project description:BackgroundThe orchid genus Pholidota Lindl. ex Hook. is economically important as some species has long been used in traditional medicine. However, the systematic status of the genus and intergeneric relationships inferred from previous molecular studies are unclear due to insufficient sampling and lack of informative sites. So far, only limited genomic information has been available. The taxonomy of Pholidota remains unresolved and somewhat controversial. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp.) genomes of thirteen Pholidota species were sequenced and analyzed to gain insight into the phylogeny of Pholidota and mutation patterns in their cp. genomes.ResultsAll examined thirteen Pholidota cp. genomes exhibited typical quadripartite circular structures, with the size ranging from 158,786 to 159,781 bp. The annotation contained a total of 135 genes in each cp. genome, i.e., 89 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The codon usage analysis indicated the preference of A/U-ending codons. Repeat sequence analysis identified 444 tandem repeats, 322 palindromic repeats and 189 dispersed repeats. A total of 525 SSRs, 13,834 SNPs and 8,630 InDels were detected. Six mutational hotspots were identified as potential molecular markers. These molecular markers and highly variable regions are expected to facilitate future genetic and genomic studies. Our phylogenetic analyses confirmed the polyphyletic status of the genus Pholidota, with species grouped into four main clades: Pholidota s.s. was resolved as the sister to a clade containing species of Coelogyne; the other two clades clustered together with species of Bulleyia and Panisea, respectively; species P. ventricosa was placed at the basal position, deviated from all other species.ConclusionThis is the first study to comprehensively examine the genetic variations and systematically analyze the phylogeny and evolution of Pholidota based on plastid genomic data. These findings contribute to a better understanding of plastid genome evolution of Pholidota and provide new insights into the phylogeny of Pholidota and its closely related genera within the subtribe Coelogyninae. Our research has laid the foundation for future studies on the evolutionary mechanisms and classification of this economically and medicinally important genus.
