Project description:We completed chloroplast genome of Scapania ampliata Steph., presenting distinct morphological features including yellowish brown, one-celled gemmae, and decurrent dorsal lobe. It is 118,026 bp long and has four subregions: 80,850 bp of large single copy (LSC) and 19,436 bp of small single copy (SSC) regions are separated by 8,870 bp of inverted repeat (IR) regions including 130 genes (86 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNAs, and 36 transfer RNAs). The overall guanine cytosine (GC) content is 34.0% and those in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 31.9%, 31.0%, and 46.3%, respectively. Phylogenetic trees show S. ampliata is clustered with Scapania ciliata.
Project description:Scapania ampliata Steph. is the endemic species in East Asia. To investigate intraspecific variations on mitochondrial genomes of S. ampliata, we completed mitochondrial genome of S. ampliata isolated in Korea. It is 143,664 bp long and contains 73 genes (41 protein-coding genes, three rRNAs, 28 tRNAs, and one pseudogene). 823 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; 0.057%) and 2,242 insertions and deletions were identified between two S. ampliata mitochondrial genomes, which is large number of intraspecific variations in comparison to the other cases of Bryophyte mitochondrial genomes. Phylogenetic trees show that S. ampliata is clustered with those of two Scapania species with high supportive values.
