The complete chloroplast genome characteristics of Polygala crotalarioides Buch.-Ham. ex DC. (Polygalaceae) from Yunnan, China.

ABSTRACT: Polygala crotalarioides Buch.-Ham. ex DC. (Polygalaceae) is a perennial herbaceous plant widely distributed in southwest China. Its chloroplast genome sequence was obtained using Illumina NovaSeq sequencing technology, and then was assembled, annotated, and characterized. The total length of chloroplast genome is 164,269 bp and it contained a large (LCS, 82,697 bp) and a small (SSC, 8083 bp) single copy region, separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRA/IRB, 36,744 bp). The overall GC content of genome was 36.8% and corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.9%, 29.5%, and 39.7%, respectively. There are 135 genes that were predicted including 89 protein-coding, 38 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes. The maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree reconstructed by IQ-TREE indicated that P. crotalarioides had a strong genetic relationship with P. tenuifolia, P. sibirica, and P. japonica. In summary, the complete chloroplast genome of P. crotalarioides is reported for the first time, which is of great significance for future research on the evolutionary phylogeny and protection of Polygala.

Project description:Root nodule (RN) symbiosis is a mutualistic interaction observed between nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria and nodulating plants, which are scattered in only four orders of angiosperms called nitrogen-fixing clade. Most of legumes engage in RN symbiosis with rhizobia. Molecular genetic analyses with legumes and non-leguminous nodulating plants revealed that RN symbiosis utilizes early signalling components that are required for symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. However detailed evolutionary processes are still largely unknown. Comparative analyses with non-nodulating species phylogenetically related to legumes could be better strategies to study the evolution of RN symbiosis in legumes. Polygala paniculata is a non-leguminous species that belongs to a family different from legumes but that is classified into the same order, Fabales. It has appropriate characteristics for cultivation in laboratories: small body size, high fertility and short lifecycles. Therefore, we further assessed whether this species is suitable as a model species for comparative studies with legumes. We first validated that the plant we obtained in Palau was truly P. paniculata by molecular phylogenetic analysis using rbcL sequences. The estimated genome size of this species was less than those of two model legumes, Lotus japonicus and Medicago truncatula. We determined conditions for cultivation in vitro and for hairy root formation from P. paniculata seedlings. It would facilitate to investigate gene functions in this species. The ability of P. paniculata to interact with AM fungi was confirmed by inoculation with Rhizophagus irregularis, suggesting the presence of early signalling factors that might be involved in RN symbiosis. Unexpectedly, branching of root hairs was observed when inoculated with Mesorhizobium loti broad host range strain NZP2037, indicating that P. paniculata has the biological potential to respond to rhizobia. We propose that P. paniculata is used as a model plant for the evolutionary study of RN symbiosis.
