Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Chinese endemic species of Aster batangensis (Asteraceae: Astereae) and its phylogenetic implications.

ABSTRACT: This study was the first report complete chloroplast genome of Aster batangensis (Astereae: Asteraceae), the perennial herb endemic to China. The plastid genome of Aster batangensis include 132 unique genes, with 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Among these genes, 21 duplicate genes, including10 protein-coding genes, 7 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes were detected. The complete genome size of Aster batangensis has a typical quadripartite circular structure with 152,605 bp in total length, consisting a large single copy (LSC) of 84,351 bp and a small single copy (SSC) of 18,212 bp, separated by a pair of invested repeats (IR) of 25,021 bp. The average GC content of whole plastome sequence is 37.3%, and the LSC, SSC and IR regions is 35.3%, 31.3%, and 43.0%, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis by the maximum likelihood method showed that A. batangensis was closely related to the other members of Astereae (e.g. Aztecaster matudae, Conyza bonariensis, Lagenophora cuchumatanica, Baccharis tricuneata, Baccharis genistelloides).

Project description:Background and aimsThe classification and phylogeny of Eurasian (EA) Aster (Asterinae, Astereae, Asteraceae) remain poorly resolved. Some taxonomists adopt a broad definition of EA Aster, whereas others favour a narrow generic concept. The present study aims to delimit EA Aster sensu stricto (s.s.), elucidate the phylogenetic relationships of EA Aster s.s. and segregate genera.MethodsThe internal and external transcribed spacers of nuclear ribosomal DNA and the plastid DNA trnL-F region were used to reconstruct the phylogeny of EA Aster through maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses.Key resultsThe analyses strongly support an Aster clade including the genera Sheareria, Rhynchospermum, Kalimeris (excluding Kalimeris longipetiolata), Heteropappus, Miyamayomena, Turczaninowia, Rhinactinidia, eastern Asian Doellingeria, Asterothamnus and Arctogeron. Many well-recognized species of Chinese Aster s.s. lie outside of the Aster clade.ConclusionsThe results reveal that EA Aster s.s. is both paraphyletic and polyphyletic. Sheareria, Rhynchospermum, Kalimeris (excluding K. longipetiolata), Heteropappus, Miyamayomena, Turczaninowia, Rhinactinidia, eastern Asian Doellingeria, Asterothamnus and Arctogeron should be included in Aster, whereas many species of Chinese Aster s.s. should be excluded. The recircumscribed Aster should be divided into two subgenera and nine sections. Kalimeris longipetiolata, Aster batangensis, A. ser. Albescentes, A. series Hersileoides, a two-species group composed of A. senecioides and A. fuscescens, and a six-species group including A. asteroides, should be elevated to generic level. With the Aster clade, they belong to the Australasian lineages. The generic status of Callistephus should be maintained. Whether Galatella (including Crinitina) and Tripolium should remain as genera or be merged into a single genus remains to be determined. In addition, the taxonomic status of A. auriculatus and the A. pycnophyllus-A. panduratus clade remains unresolved, and the systematic position of some segregates of EA Aster requires further study.
