Moore‐Pollard ER, Jones DS, Mandel JR. Compositae-ParaLoss-1272: A complementary sunflower-specific probe set reduces paralogs in phylogenomic analyses of complex systems. APPLICATIONS IN PLANT SCIENCES 2024; 12:e11568. [PMID: 38369976 PMCID: PMC10873820 DOI: 10.1002/aps3.11568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/12/2023] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
Premise A family-specific probe set for sunflowers, Compositae-1061, enables family-wide phylogenomic studies and investigations at lower taxonomic levels, but may lack resolution at genus to species levels, especially in groups complicated by polyploidy and hybridization. Methods We developed a Hyb-Seq probe set, Compositae-ParaLoss-1272, that targets orthologous loci in Asteraceae. We tested its efficiency across the family by simulating target enrichment sequencing in silico. Additionally, we tested its effectiveness at lower taxonomic levels in the historically complex genus Packera. We performed Hyb-Seq with Compositae-ParaLoss-1272 for 19 Packera taxa that were previously studied using Compositae-1061. The resulting sequences from each probe set, plus a combination of both, were used to generate phylogenies, compare topologies, and assess node support. Results We report that Compositae-ParaLoss-1272 captured loci across all tested Asteraceae members, had less gene tree discordance, and retained longer loci than Compositae-1061. Most notably, Compositae-ParaLoss-1272 recovered substantially fewer paralogous sequences than Compositae-1061, with only ~5% of the recovered loci reporting as paralogous, compared to ~59% with Compositae-1061. Discussion Given the complexity of plant evolutionary histories, assigning orthology for phylogenomic analyses will continue to be challenging. However, we anticipate Compositae-ParaLoss-1272 will provide improved resolution and utility for studies of complex groups and lower taxonomic levels in the sunflower family.

Abstract
Premise The HybPiper pipeline has become one of the most widely used tools for the assembly of target capture data for phylogenomic analysis. After the production of locus sequences and before phylogenetic analysis, the identification of paralogs is a critical step for ensuring the accurate inference of evolutionary relationships. Algorithmic approaches using gene tree topologies for the inference of ortholog groups are computationally efficient and broadly applicable to non-model organisms, especially in the absence of a known species tree. Methods and Results We containerized and expanded the functionality of both HybPiper and a pipeline for the inference of ortholog groups, providing novel options for the treatment of target capture sequence data, and allowing seamless use of the outputs of the former as inputs for the latter. The Singularity container presented here includes all dependencies, and the corresponding pipelines (hybpiper-nf and paragone-nf, respectively) are implemented via two Nextflow scripts for easier deployment and to vastly reduce the number of commands required for their use. Conclusions The hybpiper-nf and paragone-nf pipelines are easily installed and provide a user-friendly experience and robust results to the phylogenetic community. They are used by the Australian Angiosperm Tree of Life project. The pipelines are available at https://github.com/chrisjackson-pellicle/hybpiper-nf and https://github.com/chrisjackson-pellicle/paragone-nf.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:967456.

Abstract
Subfamily Rubioideae is the largest of the main lineages in the coffee family (Rubiaceae), with over 8,000 species and 29 tribes. Phylogenetic relationships among tribes and other major clades within this group of plants are still only partly resolved despite considerable efforts. While previous studies have mainly utilized data from the organellar genomes and nuclear ribosomal DNA, we here use a large number of low-copy nuclear genes obtained via a target capture approach to infer phylogenetic relationships within Rubioideae. We included 101 Rubioideae species representing all but two (the monogeneric tribes Foonchewieae and Aitchinsonieae) of the currently recognized tribes, and all but one non-monogeneric tribe were represented by more than one genus. Using data from the 353 genes targeted with the universal Angiosperms353 probe set we investigated the impact of data type, analytical approach, and potential paralogs on phylogenetic reconstruction. We inferred a robust phylogenetic hypothesis of Rubioideae with the vast majority (or all) nodes being highly supported across all analyses and datasets and few incongruences between the inferred topologies. The results were similar to those of previous studies but novel relationships were also identified. We found that supercontigs [coding sequence (CDS) + non-coding sequence] clearly outperformed CDS data in levels of support and gene tree congruence. The full datasets (353 genes) outperformed the datasets with potentially paralogous genes removed (186 genes) in levels of support but increased gene tree incongruence slightly. The pattern of gene tree conflict at short internal branches were often consistent with high levels of incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) due to rapid speciation in the group. While concatenation- and coalescence-based trees mainly agreed, the observed phylogenetic discordance between the two approaches may be best explained by their differences in accounting for ILS. The use of target capture data greatly improved our confidence and understanding of the Rubioideae phylogeny, highlighted by the increased support for previously uncertain relationships and the increased possibility to explore sources of underlying phylogenetic discordance.

Understanding Diversity and Systematics in Australian Fabaceae Tribe Mirbelieae. DIVERSITY 2021. [DOI: 10.3390/d13080391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Australia has a very diverse pea-flowered legume flora with 1715 native and naturalised species currently recognised. Tribe Mirbelieae s.l. includes 44% of Australia’s peas in 24 genera with 756 recognised species. However, several genera within the Pultenaea alliance in tribe Mirbelieae are considered to be non-monophyletic and two main options have been proposed: option one is to merge ca. 18 genera containing ca. 540 species (the largest genus, Pultenaea has nomenclatural priority); and option two is to re-circumscribe some genera and describe new genera as required to form monophyletic groups. At the species level, option one would require 76% of names to be changed; whereas based on available data, option two is likely to require, at most, 8.3% of names to change. Option two therefore provides the least nomenclatural disruption but cannot be implemented without a robust phylogenetic framework to define new generic limits. Here we present novel analyses of available plastid DNA data (trnL-F) which suggest that option two would be feasible once sufficient data are generated to resolve relationships. However, the reticulate evolutionary histories or past rapid speciation suggested for this group may prevent the resolution of all nodes. We propose targeted use of Next-Generation Sequencing technology as the best way to resolve relationships between the key clades in the tribe and present a framework for such a study. An overview of current taxonomy in the tribe is presented, along with the state of taxonomic knowledge and availability of published descriptions for electronic flora treatments. Several new combinations and typifications are published in an appendix.

Abstract
PREMISE Universal target enrichment kits maximize utility across wide evolutionary breadth while minimizing the number of baits required to create a cost-efficient kit. The Angiosperms353 kit has been successfully used to capture loci throughout the angiosperms, but the default target reference file includes sequence information from only 6-18 taxa per locus. Consequently, reads sequenced from on-target DNA molecules may fail to map to references, resulting in fewer on-target reads for assembly, and reducing locus recovery. METHODS We expanded the Angiosperms353 target file, incorporating sequences from 566 transcriptomes to produce a 'mega353' target file, with each locus represented by 17-373 taxa. This mega353 file is a drop-in replacement for the original Angiosperms353 file in HybPiper analyses. We provide tools to subsample the file based on user-selected taxon groups, and to incorporate other transcriptome or protein-coding gene data sets. RESULTS Compared to the default Angiosperms353 file, the mega353 file increased the percentage of on-target reads by an average of 32%, increased locus recovery at 75% length by 49%, and increased the total length of the concatenated loci by 29%. DISCUSSION Increasing the phylogenetic density of the target reference file results in improved recovery of target capture loci. The mega353 file and associated scripts are available at: https://github.com/chrisjackson-pellicle/NewTargets.

Abstract
PREMISE New sequencing technologies facilitate the generation of large-scale molecular data sets for constructing the plant tree of life. We describe a new probe set for target enrichment sequencing to generate nuclear sequence data to build phylogenetic trees with any flagellate land plants, including hornworts, liverworts, mosses, lycophytes, ferns, and all gymnosperms. METHODS We leveraged existing transcriptome and genome sequence data to design the GoFlag 451 probes, a set of 56,989 probes for target enrichment sequencing of 451 exons that are found in 248 single-copy or low-copy nuclear genes across flagellate plant lineages. RESULTS Our results indicate that target enrichment using the GoFlag451 probe set can provide large nuclear data sets that can be used to resolve relationships among both distantly and closely related taxa across the flagellate land plants. We also describe the GoFlag 408 probes, an optimized probe set covering 408 of the 451 exons from the GoFlag 451 probe set that is commercialized by RAPiD Genomics. CONCLUSIONS A target enrichment approach using the new probe set provides a relatively low-cost solution to obtain large-scale nuclear sequence data for inferring phylogenetic relationships across flagellate land plants.

New approaches to species delimitation and population structure of anthozoans: Two case studies of octocorals using ultraconserved elements and exons. Mol Ecol Resour 2020; 21:78-92.

Abstract
As coral populations decline worldwide in the face of ongoing environmental change, documenting their distribution, diversity and conservation status is now more imperative than ever. Accurate delimitation and identification of species is a critical first step. This task, however, is not trivial as morphological variation and slowly evolving molecular markers confound species identification. New approaches to species delimitation in corals are needed to overcome these challenges. Here, we test whether target enrichment of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and exons can be used for delimiting species boundaries and population structure within species of corals by focusing on two octocoral genera, Alcyonium and Sinularia, as exemplary case studies. We designed an updated bait set (29,181 baits) to target-capture 3,023 UCE and exon loci, recovering a mean of 1,910 ± 168 SD per sample with a mean length of 1,055 ± 208 bp. Similar numbers of loci were recovered from Sinularia (1,946 ± 227 SD) and Alcyonium (1,863 ± 177 SD). Species-level phylogenies were highly supported for both genera. Clustering methods based on filtered single nucleotide polymorphisms delimited species and populations that are congruent with previous allozyme, DNA barcoding, reproductive and ecological data for Alcyonium, and offered further evidence of hybridization among species. For Sinularia, results were congruent with those obtained from a previous study using restriction site associated DNA sequencing. Both case studies demonstrate the utility of target-enrichment of UCEs and exons to address a wide range of evolutionary and taxonomic questions across deep to shallow timescales in corals.

Abstract
The grape family consists of 16 genera and ca. 950 species. It is best known for the economically important fruit crop - the grape Vitis vinifera. The deep phylogenetic relationships and character evolution of the grape family have attracted the attention of researchers in recent years. We herein reconstruct the phylogenomic relationships within Vitaceae using nuclear and plastid genes based on the Hyb-Seq approach and test the newly proposed classification system of the family. The five tribes of the grape family, including Ampelopsideae, Cayratieae, Cisseae, Parthenocisseae, and Viteae, are each robustly supported by both nuclear and chloroplast genomic data and the backbone relationships are congruent with previous reports. The cupular floral disc (raised above and free from ovary at the upper part) is an ancestral state of Vitaceae, with the inconspicuous floral disc as derived in the tribe Parthenocisseae, and the state of adnate to the ovary as derived in the tribe Viteae. The 5-merous floral pattern was inferred to be the ancestral in Vitaceae, with the 4-merous flowers evolved at least two times in the family. The compound dichasial cyme (cymose with two secondary axes) is ancestral in Vitaceae and the thyrse inflorescence (a combination of racemose and cymose branching) in tribe Viteae is derived. The ribbon-like trichome only evolved once in Vitaceae, as a synapomorphy for the tribe Viteae.

Abstract
The trans-splicing rps12 gene of fern plastomes (plastid genomes) exhibits a unique structure owing to its variations in intragenic exon location and intron content, and thus, it provides an excellent model system for examining the effect of plastid gene structure on rates and patterns of molecular evolution. In this study, 16 complete fern plastome sequences were newly generated via the Illumina HiSeq sequencing platform. We reconstructed the phylogeny of ferns and inferred the patterns and rates of plastid rps12 gene evolution in a phylogenetic context by combining these plastome data with those of previously published fern species. We uncovered the diversity of fern plastome evolution by characterizing the structures of these genomes and obtained a highly supported phylogenetic framework for ferns. Furthermore, our results revealed molecular evolutionary patterns that were completely different from the patterns revealed in previous studies. There were significant differences in the patterns and rates of nucleotide substitutions in both intron-containing and intron-less rps12 alleles. Rate heterogeneity between single-copy (SC) and inverted repeat (IR) exons was evident. Unexpectedly, however, IR exons exhibited significantly higher synonymous substitution rates (dS) than SC exons, a pattern that contrasts the regional effect responsible for decreased rates of nucleotide substitutions in IRs. Our results reveal that structural changes in plastid genes have important effects on evolutionary rates, and we propose possible mechanisms to explain the variations in the nucleotide substitution rates of this unusual gene.

Abstract
The reduced cost of high-throughput sequencing and the development of gene sets with wide phylogenetic applicability has led to the rise of sequence capture methods as a plausible platform for both phylogenomics and population genomics in plants. An important consideration in large targeted sequencing projects is the per-sample cost, which can be inflated when using off-the-shelf kits or reagents not purchased in bulk. Here, we discuss methods to reduce per-sample costs in high-throughput targeted sequencing projects. We review the minimal equipment and consumable requirements for targeted sequencing while comparing several alternatives to reduce bulk costs in DNA extraction, library preparation, target enrichment, and sequencing. We consider how each of the workflow alterations may be affected by DNA quality (e.g., fresh vs. herbarium tissue), genome size, and the phylogenetic scale of the project. We provide a cost calculator for researchers considering targeted sequencing to use when designing projects, and identify challenges for future development of low-cost sequencing in non-model plant systems.

Wei R, Zhang XC. Phylogeny of Diplazium (Athyriaceae) revisited: Resolving the backbone relationships based on plastid genomes and phylogenetic tree space analysis. Mol Phylogenet Evol 2019; 143:106699. [PMID: 31809851 DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2019.106699] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2019] [Revised: 12/01/2019] [Accepted: 12/01/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Despite progress in resolving the phylogeny of twinsorus ferns (Diplazium) based on multilocus phylogenetic studies, uncertainty remains especially for deep, or backbone relationships among closely related clades, suggesting a classic case of rapid evolutionary radiation. Here, we investigated the deep phylogenetic relationships within Diplazium by sampling all major clades and using 51 plastid genomes (plastomes), of which 38 were newly sequenced with high-throughput sequencing technology, resulting more than 127,000 informative sites. Using parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of plastome sequences, we largely resolved the backbone of the phylogeny of Diplazium with strong support. However, we also detected phylogenetic incongruence among different datasets and moderately to poorly supported relationships, particularly at several extremely short internal branches. By using phylogenetic tree space and topology-clustering analyses, we provide evidence that conflicting phylogenetic signals can be found across the trees estimated from individual chloroplast protein-coding genes, which may underlie the difficulty of systematics of Diplazium. Furthermore, our phylogenetic estimate offers more resolution over previous multilocus analyses, providing a framework for future taxonomic revisions of sectional classification of Diplazium. Our study demonstrates the advantage of a character-rich plastome dataset, combining the comparison of different phylogenetic methods, for resolving the recalcitrant lineages that have undergone rapid radiation and dramatic changes in evolutionary rates.

Abstract
Abstract
Baobabs (Adansonia) are a cohesive group of tropical trees with a disjunct distribution in Australia, Madagascar, and continental Africa, and diverse flowers associated with two pollination modes. We used custom-targeted sequence capture in conjunction with new and existing phylogenetic comparative methods to explore the evolution of floral traits and pollination systems while allowing for reticulate evolution. Our analyses suggest that relationships in Adansonia are confounded by reticulation, with network inference methods supporting at least one reticulation event. The best supported hypothesis involves introgression between Adansonia rubrostipa and core Longitubae, both of which are hawkmoth pollinated with yellow/red flowers, but there is also some support for introgression between the African lineage and Malagasy Brevitubae, which are both mammal-pollinated with white flowers. New comparative methods for phylogenetic networks were developed that allow maximum-likelihood inference of ancestral states and were applied to study the apparent homoplasy in floral biology and pollination mode seen in Adansonia. This analysis supports a role for introgressive hybridization in morphological evolution even in a clade with highly divergent and geographically widespread species. Our new comparative methods for discrete traits on species networks are implemented in the software PhyloNetworks.

Abstract
PREMISE Hybrid capture with high-throughput sequencing (Hyb-Seq) is a powerful tool for evolutionary studies. The applicability of an Asteraceae family-specific Hyb-Seq probe set and the outcomes of different phylogenetic analyses are investigated here. METHODS Hyb-Seq data from 112 Asteraceae samples were organized into groups at different taxonomic levels (tribe, genus, and species). For each group, data sets of non-paralogous loci were built and proportions of parsimony informative characters estimated. The impacts of analyzing alternative data sets, removing long branches, and type of analysis on tree resolution and inferred topologies were investigated in tribe Cichorieae. RESULTS Alignments of the Asteraceae family-wide Hyb-Seq locus set were parsimony informative at all taxonomic levels. Levels of resolution and topologies inferred at shallower nodes differed depending on the locus data set and the type of analysis, and were affected by the presence of long branches. DISCUSSION The approach used to build a Hyb-Seq locus data set influenced resolution and topologies inferred in phylogenetic analyses. Removal of long branches improved the reliability of topological inferences in maximum likelihood analyses. The Astereaceae Hyb-Seq probe set is applicable at multiple taxonomic depths, which demonstrates that probe sets do not necessarily need to be lineage-specific.

Abstract
PREMISE Spore-bearing plants are capable of dispersing very long distances. However, it is not known if gene flow can prevent genetic divergence in widely distributed taxa. Here we address this issue, and examine systematic relationships at a global geographic scale for the fern genus Pteridium. METHODS We sampled plants from 100 localities worldwide, and generated nucleotide data from four nuclear genes and two plastid regions. We also examined 2801 single nucleotide polymorphisms detected by a restriction site-associated DNA approach. RESULTS We found evidence for two distinct diploid species and two allotetraploids between them. The "northern" species (Pteridium aquilinum) has distinct groups at the continental scale (Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America). The northern European subspecies pinetorum appears to involve admixture among all of these. A sample from the Hawaiian Islands contained elements of both North American and Asian P. aquilinum. The "southern" species, P. esculentum, shows little genetic differentiation between South American and Australian samples. Components of African genotypes are detected on all continents. CONCLUSIONS We find evidence of distinct continental-scale genetic differentiation in Pteridium. However, on top of this is a clear signal of recent hybridization. Thus, spore-bearing plants are clearly capable of extensive long-distance gene flow; yet appear to have differentiated genetically at the continental scale. Either gene flow in the past was at a reduced level, or vicariance is possible even in the face of long-distance gene flow.

Abstract
PREMISE We developed a target enrichment panel for phylogenomic studies of Dioscorea, an economically important genus with incompletely resolved relationships. METHODS Our bait panel comprises 260 low- to single-copy nuclear genes targeted to work in Dioscorea, assessed here using a preliminary taxon sampling that includes both distantly and closely related taxa, including several yam crops and potential crop wild relatives. We applied coalescent-based and maximum likelihood phylogenomic inference approaches to the pilot taxon set, incorporating new and published transcriptome data from additional species. RESULTS The custom panel retrieved ~94% of targets and >80% of full gene length from 88% and 68% of samples, respectively. It has minimal gene overlap with existing panels designed for angiosperm-wide studies and generally recovers longer and more variable targets. Pilot phylogenomic analyses consistently resolve most deep and recent relationships with strong support across analyses and point to revised relationships between the crop species D. alata and candidate crop wild relatives. DISCUSSION Our customized panel reliably retrieves targeted loci from Dioscorea, is informative for resolving relationships in denser samplings, and is suitable for refining our understanding of the independent origins of cultivated yam species; the panel likely has broader promise for phylogenomic studies across Dioscoreales.

Abstract
Ferns account for 80% of nonflowering vascular plant species and are the sister lineage of seed plants. Recent molecular phylogenetics have greatly advanced understanding of fern tree of life, but relationships among some major lineages remain unclear. To better resolve the phylogenetic relationships of ferns, we generated transcriptomes from 125 ferns and two lycophytes, with three additional public datasets, to represent all 11 orders and 85% of families of ferns. Our nuclear phylogeny provides strong supports for the monophyly of all four subclasses and nearly all orders and families, and for relationships among these lineages. The only exception is Gleicheniales, which was highly supported as being paraphyletic with Dipteridaceae sister to a clade with Gleicheniaceae + Hymenophyllales. In addition, new and strongly supported phylogenetic relationships are found for suborders and families in Polypodiales. We provide the first dated fern phylogenomic tree using many nuclear genes from a large majority of families, with an estimate for separation of the ancestors of ferns and seed plants in early Devonian at ∼400 Mya and subsequent gradual divergences of fern orders from ∼380 to 200 Mya. Moreover, the newly obtained fern phylogeny provides a framework for gene family analyses, which indicate that the vast majority of transcription factor families found in seed plants were already present in the common ancestor of extant vascular plants. In addition, fern transcription factor genes show similar duplication patterns to those in seed plants, with some showing stable copy number and others displaying independent expansions in both ferns and seed plants. This study provides a robust phylogenetic and gene family evolution framework, as well as rich molecular resources for understanding the morphological and functional evolution in ferns.
