Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of the perennial plant Tradescantia ohiensis Raf. (Commelinales: Commelinaceae).

ABSTRACT: Tradescantia ohiensis Raf. (Ohio spiderwort/blue-jacket) is a perennial herb native to North America that has become widely established in China. The chloroplast (cp) genome of T. ohiensis was assembled using Illumina sequencing reads. It is 164,140 bp in length with an A + T-biased nucleotide composition, and comprises a large single-copy (LSC) region (91,248 bp), a small single-copy (SSC) region (18,426 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (27,233 bp). The cp genome harbors a total of 112 gene species with 19 of them being completely or partially duplicated and 18 of them possessing one or two introns. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that T. ohiensis is most closely related to the congeneric T. virginiana.

Project description:BackgroundCommelinaceae (Commelinales) comprise 41 genera and are widely distributed in both the Old and New Worlds, except in Europe. The relationships among genera in this family have been suggested in several morphological and molecular studies. However, it is difficult to explain their relationships due to high morphological variations and low support values. Currently, many researchers have been using complete chloroplast genome data for inferring the evolution of land plants. In this study, we completed 15 new plastid genome sequences of subfamily Commelinoideae using the Mi-seq platform. We utilized genome data to reveal the structural variations and reconstruct the problematic positions of genera for the first time.ResultsAll examined species of Commelinoideae have three pseudogenes (accD, rpoA, and ycf15), and the former two might be a synapomorphy within Commelinales. Only four species in tribe Commelineae presented IR expansion, which affected duplication of the rpl22 gene. We identified inversions that range from approximately 3 to 15 kb in four taxa (Amischotolype, Belosynapsis, Murdannia, and Streptolirion). The phylogenetic analysis using 77 chloroplast protein-coding genes with maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian inference suggests that Palisota is most closely related to tribe Commelineae, supported by high support values. This result differs significantly from the current classification of Commelinaceae. Also, we resolved the unclear position of Streptoliriinae and the monophyly of Dichorisandrinae. Among the ten CDS (ndhH, rpoC2, ndhA, rps3, ndhG, ndhD, ccsA, ndhF, matK, and ycf1), which have high nucleotide diversity values (Pi > 0.045) and over 500 bp length, four CDS (ndhH, rpoC2, matK, and ycf1) show that they are congruent with the topology derived from 77 chloroplast protein-coding genes.ConclusionsIn this study, we provide detailed information on the 15 complete plastid genomes of Commelinoideae taxa. We identified characteristic pseudogenes and nucleotide diversity, which can be used to infer the family evolutionary history. Also, further research is needed to revise the position of Palisota in the current classification of Commelinaceae.
