Abstract
Citrus species among the most important and widely consumed fruit in the world due to Vitamin C, essential oil glands, and flavonoids. Highly variable simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers are one of the most informative and versatile molecular markers used in perennial tree genetic research. SSR survey of Citrus sinensis and Citrus maxima were identified perfect SSRs spanning nine chromosomes. Furthermore, we categorized all SSR motifs into three major classes based on their tract lengths. We designed and validated a class I SSRs in the C. sinensis and C. maxima genome through electronic polymerase chain reaction (ePCR) and found 83.89% in C. sinensis and 78.52% in C. maxima SSRs producing a single amplicon. Then, we selected extremely variable SSRs (> 40 nt) from the ePCR-verified class I SSRs and in silico validated across seven draft genomes of citrus, which provided us a subset of 84.74% in C. sinensis and 77.53% in C. maxima highly polymorphic SSRs. Out of these, 129 primers were validated on 24 citrus genotypes through wet-lab experiment. We found 127 (98.45%) polymorphic HvSSRs on 24 genotypes. The utility of the developed HvSSRs was demonstrated by analysing genetic diversity of 181 citrus genotypes using 17 HvSSRs spanning nine citrus chromosomes and were divided into 11 main groups through 17 HvSSRs. These chromosome-specific SSRs will serve as a powerful genomic tool used for future QTL mapping, molecular breeding, investigation of population genetic diversity, comparative mapping, and evolutionary studies among citrus and other relative genera/species.

Abstract
Background Releasing the draft genome of sweet orange provides useful information on genetic structure and molecular marker association with heritable breeding traits in citrus species and their structures. Last decades, microsatellite and retrotransposons are well known as a significant diverse component of the structural evolution. They represented the most potent elements for assessing sustainable utilization of the complicated classification in citrus breeding. Our study was performed to verify the structure analysis and the parentage genetic diversity among the Egyptian citrus rootstocks and the related species. Results Here, the performance of 26 SSR and 14 LTR-IRAP in addition to 20 LTR-REMAP markers have been used to conduct the discriminating power and the status of the genetic structure analysis among twenty specimens of citrus genotypes. As a result, the three markers approach exhibited a remarkable variation among the tested genotypes. Overall, the three markers have different discrimination power; the co-dominant SSR markers can differentiate within the group level only in addition to the species level of sour orange, while the dominant markers LTR-IRAP had the ability to discriminate among the group level in addition to species level and the origin of acids. Similarly, LTR-REMAP is suitable for classifying the group level and species level for mandarins as well the origin of Egyptian acids; probably due to it is integration of SSR and LTR-IRAP techniques. Structure and PCoA results of LTR-REMAP marker in strong support for the group structure of citrus species have been divided into four sets: acids, grapefruit/pummelo, mandarin/orange, and sour orange. Conclusion Our findings of the genetic structure analysis support the monophyletic nature of the citrus species; are able to provide unambiguous identification and disposition of true species and related hybrids like lemon, lime, citron, sour orange, grapefruit, mandarin, sweet orange, pummelo, and fortunella; and resulted in their placement in individual or overlap groups. The outcomes of these results will offer helpful and potential information for breeding programs and conservation approaches as a key stage toward identifying the interspecific admixture and the inferred structure origins of Egyptian citrus rootstock and acid cultivars.

Towards a molecular taxonomic key of the Aurantioideae subfamily using chloroplastic SNP diagnostic markers of the main clades genotyped by competitive allele-specific PCR. BMC Genet 2016; 17:118. [PMID: 27539067 PMCID: PMC4991024 DOI: 10.1186/s12863-016-0426-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2016] [Accepted: 08/11/2016] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Chloroplast DNA is a primary source of molecular variations for phylogenetic analysis of photosynthetic eukaryotes. However, the sequencing and analysis of multiple chloroplastic regions is difficult to apply to large collections or large samples of natural populations. The objective of our work was to demonstrate that a molecular taxonomic key based on easy, scalable and low-cost genotyping method should be developed from a set of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) diagnostic of well-established clades. It was applied to the Aurantioideae subfamily, the largest group of the Rutaceae family that includes the cultivated citrus species. Results The publicly available nucleotide sequences of eight plastid genomic regions were compared for 79 accessions of the Aurantioideae subfamily to search for SNPs revealing taxonomic differentiation at the inter-tribe, inter-subtribe, inter-genus and interspecific levels. Diagnostic SNPs (DSNPs) were found for 46 of the 54 clade levels analysed. Forty DSNPs were selected to develop KASPar markers and their taxonomic value was tested by genotyping 108 accessions of the Aurantioideae subfamily. Twenty-seven markers diagnostic of 24 clades were validated and they displayed a very high rate of transferability in the Aurantioideae subfamily (only 1.2 % of missing data on average). The UPGMA from the validated markers produced a cladistic organisation that was highly coherent with the previous phylogenetic analysis based on the sequence data of the eight plasmid regions. In particular, the monophyletic origin of the “true citrus” genera plus Oxanthera was validated. However, some clarification remains necessary regarding the organisation of the other wild species of the Citreae tribe. Conclusions We validated the concept that with well-established clades, DSNPs can be selected and efficiently transformed into competitive allele-specific PCR markers (KASPar method) allowing cost-effective highly efficient cladistic analysis in large collections at subfamily level. The robustness of this genotyping method is an additional decisive advantage for network collaborative research. The availability of WGS data for the main “true citrus” species should soon make it possible to develop a set of DSNP markers allowing very fine resolution of this very important horticultural group.

Abstract
Chloroplast simple sequence repeat (cpSSR) markers previously reported were used to analyze chloroplast diversity of Chinese grapes. Nine cpSSR primer pairs from the chloroplast genomes of citrus and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) were found useful for analyzing the grapes chloroplast genome (cpDNA). Selected cpSSR primer pairs showed polymorphism among 64 varieties, with polymorphism information content (PIC) values ranging from 0.522 to 0.659, with an average of 0.590. Results depicted that a total number of 43 alleles were detected on nine loci with an average of 4.77 alleles per locus with highest number of six alleles for marker ARCP2 and CCMP10. Gene diversity explained by these cpSSR makers ranged from 4 to 68% with an average of 63.66% per marker. The genetic relationship suggested by UPGMA based dendrogram divided the genotypes into three main clusters and four subgroups, results showed that 2B is the biggest group. Overall Hong Ma Ge and Da LI Mei Gui Xiung 98% similar, while 64-1-19 was the most diverse as compared to rest of genotypes.

[PMID: 26944784 PMCID: PMC4817432 DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcw005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2015] [Revised: 10/21/2015] [Accepted: 12/08/2015] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The origin of limes and lemons has been a source of conflicting taxonomic opinions. Biochemical studies, numerical taxonomy and recent molecular studies suggested that cultivated Citrus species result from interspecific hybridization between four basic taxa (C. reticulata,C. maxima,C. medica and C. micrantha). However, the origin of most lemons and limes remains controversial or unknown. The aim of this study was to perform extended analyses of the diversity, genetic structure and origin of limes and lemons. METHODS The study was based on 133 Citrus accessions. It combined maternal phylogeny studies based on mitochondrial and chloroplastic markers, and nuclear structure analysis based on the evaluation of ploidy level and the use of 123 markers, including 73 basic taxa diagnostic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and indel markers. KEY RESULTS The lime and lemon horticultural group appears to be highly polymorphic, with diploid, triploid and tetraploid varieties, and to result from many independent reticulation events which defined the sub-groups. Maternal phylogeny involves four cytoplasmic types out of the six encountered in the Citrus genus. All lime and lemon accessions were highly heterozygous, with interspecific admixture of two, three and even the four ancestral taxa genomes. Molecular polymorphism between varieties of the same sub-group was very low. CONCLUSIONS Citrus medica contributed to all limes and lemons and was the direct male parent for the main sub-groups in combination with C. micrantha or close papeda species (for C. aurata, C. excelsa, C. macrophylla and C. aurantifolia--'Mexican' lime types of Tanaka's taxa), C. reticulata(for C. limonia, C. karna and C. jambhiri varieties of Tanaka's taxa, including popular citrus rootstocks such as 'Rangpur' lime, 'Volkamer' and 'Rough' lemons), C. aurantium (for C. limetta and C. limon--yellow lemon types--varieties of Tanaka's taxa) or the C. maxima × C. reticulate hybrid (for C. limettioides--'Palestine sweet' lime types--and C. meyeri). Among triploid limes, C. latifolia accessions ('Tahiti' and 'Persian' lime types) result from the fertilization of a haploid ovule of C. limon by a diploid gamete of C. aurantifolia, while C. aurantifolia triploid accessions ('Tanepao' lime types and 'Madagascar' lemon) probably result from an interspecific backcross (a diploid ovule of C. aurantifolia fertilized by C. medica). As limes and lemons were vegetatively propagated (apomixis, horticultural practices) the intra-sub-group phenotypic diversity results from asexual variations.

Abstract
Citrus genus includes some of the most important cultivated fruit trees worldwide. Despite being extensively studied because of its commercial relevance, the origin of cultivated citrus species and the history of its domestication still remain an open question. Here, we present a phylogenetic analysis of the chloroplast genomes of 34 citrus genotypes which constitutes the most comprehensive and detailed study to date on the evolution and variability of the genus Citrus. A statistical model was used to estimate divergence times between the major citrus groups. Additionally, a complete map of the variability across the genome of different citrus species was produced, including single nucleotide variants, heteroplasmic positions, indels (insertions and deletions), and large structural variants. The distribution of all these variants provided further independent support to the phylogeny obtained. An unexpected finding was the high level of heteroplasmy found in several of the analyzed genomes. The use of the complete chloroplast DNA not only paves the way for a better understanding of the phylogenetic relationships within the Citrus genus but also provides original insights into other elusive evolutionary processes, such as chloroplast inheritance, heteroplasmy, and gene selection.

Abstract
The genus Citrus includes mandarin, orange, lemon, grapefruit and lime, which have high economic and nutritional value. The family Rutaceae can be divided into 7 subfamilies, including Aurantioideae. The genus Citrus belongs to the subfamily Aurantioideae. In this study, we sequenced the chloroplast matK genes of 135 accessions from 22 genera of Aurantioideae and analyzed them phylogenetically. Our study includes many accessions that have not been examined in other studies. The subfamily Aurantioideae has been classified into 2 tribes, Clauseneae and Citreae, and our current molecular analysis clearly discriminate Citreae from Clauseneae by using only 1 chloroplast DNA sequence. Our study confirms previous observations on the molecular phylogeny of Aurantioideae in many aspects. However, we have provided novel information on these genetic relationships. For example, inconsistent with the previous observation, and consistent with our preliminary study using the chloroplast rbcL genes, our analysis showed that Feroniella oblata is not nested in Citrus species and is closely related with Feronia limonia. Furthermore, we have shown that Murraya paniculata is similar to Merrillia caloxylon and is dissimilar to Murraya koenigii. We found that "true citrus fruit trees" could be divided into 2 subclusters. One subcluster included Citrus, Fortunella, and Poncirus, while the other cluster included Microcitrus and Eremocitrus. Compared to previous studies, our current study is the most extensive phylogenetic study of Citrus species since it includes 93 accessions. The results indicate that Citrus species can be classified into 3 clusters: a citron cluster, a pummelo cluster, and a mandarin cluster. Although most mandarin accessions belonged to the mandarin cluster, we found some exceptions. We also obtained the information on the genetic background of various species of acid citrus grown in Japan. Because the genus Citrus contains many important accessions, we have comprehensively discussed the classification of this genus.

Abstract
Volatile profiles yielded from gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis provide abundant information not only for metabolism-related research, but also for chemotaxonomy. To study the chemotaxonomy of Mangshanyegan, its volatile profiles of fruit and leaf and those of 29 other genotypes of Citrus, Poncirus, and Fortunella were subjected to phylogenetic analyses. Results showed that 145 identified (including 64 tentatively identified) and 15 unidentified volatile compounds were detected from their peel oils. The phylogenetic analysis of peel oils based on hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) demonstrated a good agreement with the Swingle taxonomy system, in which the three genera of Citrus, Poncirus, and Fortunella were almost completely separated. As to Citrus, HCA indicated that Citrophorum, Cephalocitrus, and Sinocitrus fell into three subgroups, respectively. Also, it revealed that Mangshanyegan contain volatile compounds similar to those from pummelo, though it is genetically believed to be a mandarin. These results were further supported by the principal component analysis of the peel oils and the HCA results of volatile profiles of leaves in the study.

Comparative use of InDel and SSR markers in deciphering the interspecific structure of cultivated citrus genetic diversity: a perspective for genetic association studies.

Abstract
Genetic stratification associated with domestication history is a key parameter for estimating the pertinence of genetic association study within a gene pool. Previous molecular and phenotypic studies have shown that most of the diversity of cultivated citrus results from recombination between three main species: C. medica (citron), C. reticulata (mandarin) and C. maxima (pummelo). However, the precise contribution of each of these basic species to the genomes of secondary cultivated species, such as C. sinensis (sweet orange), C. limon (lemon), C. aurantium (sour orange), C. paradisi (grapefruit) and recent hybrids is unknown. Our study focused on: (1) the development of insertion-deletion (InDel) markers and their comparison with SSR markers for use in genetic diversity and phylogenetic studies; (2) the analysis of the contributions of basic taxa to the genomes of secondary species and modern cultivars and (3) the description of the organisation of the Citrus gene pool, to evaluate how genetic association studies should be done at the cultivated Citrus gene pool level. InDel markers appear to be better phylogenetic markers for tracing the contributions of the three ancestral species, whereas SSR markers are more useful for intraspecific diversity analysis. Most of the genetic organisation of the Citrus gene pool is related to the differentiation between C. reticulata, C. maxima and C. medica. High and generalised LD was observed, probably due to the initial differentiation between the basic species and a limited number of interspecific recombinations. This structure precludes association genetic studies at the genus level without developing additional recombinant populations from interspecific hybrids. Association genetic studies should also be affordable at intraspecific level in a less structured pool such as C. reticulata.

Abstract
Twenty-four simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to detect molecular polymorphisms among 370 mostly sexually derived Citrus accessions from the collection of citrus germplasm maintained at the University of California, Riverside. A total of 275 alleles were detected with an average of 11.5 alleles per locus and an average polymorphism information content of 0.625. Genetic diversity statistics were calculated for each individual SSR marker, the entire population, and for specified Citrus groups. Phylogenetic relationships among all citrus accessions and putative non-hybrid Citrus accessions were determined by constructing neighbor-joining trees. There was strong support for monophyly at the species level when hybrid taxa were removed from the data set. Both of these trees indicate that Fortunella clusters within the genus Citrus but Poncirus is a sister genus to Citrus. Additionally, Citrus accessions were probabilistically assigned to populations or multiple populations if their genotype indicated an admixture by a model-based clustering approach. This approach identified five populations in this data set. These separate analyses (distance and model based) both support the hypothesis that there are only a few naturally occurring species of Citrus and most other types of Citrus arose through various hybridization events between these naturally occurring forms.

Abstract
Go into any grocery store and one is confronted with an array of Citrus fruit: oranges, grapefruit, mandarins (tangerines), lemons and limes. This is rich bounty for the shopper, but taxonomists are perplexed as to how to classify the various kinds of Citrus that have existed since antiquity. Now, thanks to new genetic and molecular biological techniques, the relationships between these fruit are being unraveled and show that there are probably only three true species.

Abstract
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) of Humulus Lupulus and H. japonicus was examined by restriction endonuclease analysis with BamHI, BanI, BclI, BstEII, DraI, EcoRI, EcoRV, HindIII, KpnI, PaeR7I, PstI, PvuII, SalI and XhoI. The restriction fragment patterns showed that the cpDNAs shared a large number of restriction sites. However, the chloroplast genomes of the two species could be distinguished by differences in restriction site and restriction fragment patterns in the PstI, PvuII, BclI, EcoRV, DraI and HindIII digests. On the basis of the complexity of restriction enzyme patterns, the enzymes PstI, PvuII, SalI, KpnI and XhoI were selected for mapping the chloroplast genomes. Single and double restriction enzyme digests of cpDNA from the two species were hybridized to cpDNA probes of barley and tobacco. The data obtained from molecular hybridization experiments were used to construct the cleavage site maps. Except for the PstI digest, the arrangement of cpDNA restriction sites was found to be the same for both species. An extra PstI site was present in H. lupulus. Three small insertions/deletions of about 0.8 kbp each were detected in the chloroplast genomes of the two species. Two of these insertions/deletions were present in the large and one in the small singlecopy region of the chloroplast genome. The cpDNA of Humulus was found to be a circular molecule of approximately 148 kbp that contains two inverted repeat regions of 23 kbp each, a small and a large single -copy region of approximately 20 kbp and 81 kbp, respectively. The chloroplast genome of hop has the same physical and structural organization as that found in most angiosperms.

Abstract
A physical map of the Bromus inermis chloroplast genome was constructed using heterologous probes of barley and wheat chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) to locate restriction sites. The map was aligned from data obtained from filter hybridization experiments on single and double enzyme digests. Cleavage sites for the enzymes PstI, SalI, KpnI, XhoI and PvuII were mapped. The chloroplast genome of B. inermis is similar in physical organization to that of other grasses. The circular cpDNA molecule of B. inermis has the typical small (12.8 kbp) and large (81.3 kbp) single-copy regions separated by a pair of inverted repeat (21 kbp) regions. The cpDNA molecule of B. inermis is collinear in sequence to that of wheat, rye, barley and oats. No structural rearrangements or major deletions were observed, indicating that the cpDNA of Bromus is a useful tool in phylogenetic studies.

Abstract
Alloplasmic compatibility, namely the functional interaction between the nuclear genome of a given species with plastomes and chondriomes of alien species, is of considerable relevance in plant biology. The genus Solanum encompasses a wide spectrum of species and is therefore suitable for a study of this compatibility. We thus chose the nuclear genome of Solanum tuberosum (potato) and organelles (chloroplast and mitochondria) from 14 other Solanum species to initiate an investigation of intrageneric nucleus/organelle interactions. An assessment of the diversity of the chloroplast DNAs from these 15 species resulted in the construction of a plastome dendrogram (phylogenetic tree). In parallel we extended a previous study and performed ten additional fusion combinations by the "donor-recipient protoplast fusion" procedure, using potato protoplasts as recipients and protoplasts from any of ten other Solanum species as donors. We found that two fusion combinations did not yield cybrids and that the chloroplasts of S. polyadenium and the mitochondria (or mitochondrial components) from S. tarijense could not be transferred to cybrids bearing potato nuclei. In general, there is a correlation, albeit not perfect, between the cybridization data and the plastome dendrogram. These results furnish valuable information toward future transfer of plasmone-encoded breeding traits from wild Solanum species into potato. This information should also be useful for the planning of asymmetric protoplast fusion between potato and wild accessions for the improvement of pathogen and stress resistance of potato cultivars.

Abstract
In order to clarify the genetic relationships among stone fruits, a restriction fragment analysis of chloroplast DNAs (cpDNAs) was applied to cultivated Prunus species, whose genetic diagnoses are difficult because of their heterogeneity and long life span. Chloroplast DNAs (cpDNAs) were extracted from leaves of nine stone fruit accessions covering six species of Prunus. A restriction fragment analysis was conducted by gel electrophoresis after digestion with these endonucleases. The genome sizes of the cpDNAs were about 135-139 kbp, and the fruits were classified into seven chloroplast genome types according to their restriction fragment patterns. Two peach cultivars and nectarine were found to harbor identical plastomes, differing from those of two wild peaches and the European plum. This suggests that two cultivated peaches (P. persica) did not receive the cytoplasm from the wild peaches, P. mira and P. davidiana. Phylogenetic relationships among these types were then estimated based on the shared common fragments among the species.

Abstract
Iodoacetate-treated Citrus protoplasts from embryogenic nucellar calli of Sour orange (C. aurantium) or from Rough lemon (C. jambhiri) were fused with γ-irradiated protoplasts from a related genus, Microcitrus. The fused protoplasts were cultured to obtain colonies and micro-calli. Micro-calli derived from these two fusion combinations were isolated, propagated and differentiated into embryos, which subsequently regenerated trees having the morphology of Sour orange or Rough lemon. These intergeneric fusions resulted in mitochondria with novel DNA, indicating recombination between the chondriomes of Citrus and Microcitrus. Chloroplast DNA analyses of fusion-derived embryos indicated that they contained the chloroplasts of either fusion-partner or a mix of these chloroplasts. Later plastome analyses of leaves from fully differentiated plants showed that cybrids having Rough lemon morphology had either Rough lemon or Microcitrus chloroplast DNA, indicating complete sorting out of chloroplasts. Likewise, sorting out of Microcitrus chloroplasts was detected in a cybrid plant having Sour orange morphology.

Abstract
A physical map of chloroplast DNA (ctDNA) of aerial yam, Dioscorea bulbifera L. was constructed using three restriction endonucleases, PstI, SalI, and SmaI. In addition, a clone bank of the BamHI-digested fragments were generated, and the locations of most BamHI fragments on the map were also determined. The ctDNA of D. bulbifera was found to be a circular molecule with a total size of ca. 152 kb involving two inverted repeats of ca. 25.5 kb, and small and large single copy regions of ca. 18.5 and 83.4 kb, respectively. The genes for the large subunit of the ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL) and the ATP-synthase subunits β and ɛ (atpB/atpE) were mapped.
