Abstract
Job's tears, also known as adlay, is a valuable plant that has commonly been used in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as an edible food. Due to the lack of knowledge of its genetics and gaps in its evolutionary analysis, breeding of adlay has been hindered. Here, we report five complete chloroplast genomes of various species and varieties in the genus by Illumina sequencing, while their genome structure, comparative analysis, and phylogenetic relationships were conducted. Genome sizes ranged from 140,860 to 140,864 bp in length, GC contents were 38.43%, and genome architecture was of a typical quadripartite structure. We annotated 82~83 protein-coding genes and 46~47 non-coding RNA genes in each genome and they functionally associated with self-replication, photosynthesis, cytochrome synthesis and other unknown functions. Three codons that encoded tryptophan, arginine and leucine were used frequently at rates of 41.42, 37.98, and 32.28% respectively. The preferred codons consistently ended with A or T. A total of 146 simple sequence repeats (SSR), 9 insertions and deletions (InDels) and 143 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were observed among genomes. The InDel and SNP variations were mostly distributed in intergenic regions. It confirmed that Coix, Sorghum, Saccharum, Zea, Tripsacum and Saccharum were closely genera and the genetic distance of Sorghum to Coix was closer than Zea to Coix. These results give us more insight into the evolution of Coix in a wide range of evolutionary studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The domestication process of Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.) is complicated. It's well established that Oryza rufipogon is the ancestor of Asian rice, although the number of domestication events still controversial. Recently, numerous types of studies based on rice nuclear genome have been conducted, but the results are quite different. Chloroplasts (cp) are also part of the rice genome and have a conserved cyclic structure that is valuable for plant genetics and evolutionary studies. Therefore, we conducted chloroplast-based studies, aiming to provide more evidence for the domestication of Asian rice. RESULTS A total of 1389 variants were detected from the chloroplast genomes of 412 accessions obtained through the world. Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica exhibited slightly less diversity (π) than Oryza sativa L. indica and wild rice. The fixation index values (FST) revealed that indica and japonica exhibited farther genetic distances compared with wild rice. Across cp genome, Tajima's D test demonstrated that different selection sites occurred in Asian rice. Principal component analyses (PCA) and multidimensional scaling (MDS) clearly classify the Asian rice into different groups. Furthermore, introgression patterns identified that indica and japonica shared no introgression events in cp level, and phylogenetic studies showed cultivated rice were well separated from different type of wild rice. CONCLUSIONS Here, we focus on the domestication of Asian rice (indica and japonica). Diversity and phylogenetic analyses revealed some selection characteristics in the chloroplast genome that potentially occurred in different Asian rice during the domestication. The results shown that Asian rice had been domesticated at least twice. In additional, japonica may experience a strong positive selection or bottleneck event during the domestication.

Abstract
The complete chloroplast genome of Populus wilsonii was reconstructed by reference-based assembly using whole-genome sequencing data. The total chloroplast genome size of P. wilsonii was 158,080 bp in length, including a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 27,749 bp each, a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,949 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 16,633 bp. A total of 133 genes were predicted from the chloroplast genome, including 86 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes and eight rRNA genes. Among these genes, 20 genes occurred in IRs, containing nine protein-coding genes, seven tRNA genes and four rRNA genes. The GC content of P. wilsonii chloroplast genome was 36.6%. The phylogenetic analysis with 15 other species showed that P. wilsonii was closely clustered with Populus cathayana. The complete chloroplast genome of P. wilsonii provides new insights into Populus evolutionary and genomic studies.

Development of Multiplexed Marker Sets to Identify the Most Relevant Poplar Species for Breeding. FORESTS 2017. [DOI: 10.3390/f8120492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Within the genus Populus, about 30 species are classified into six sections, of which some are cross-compatible. Besides naturally occurring hybrids, huge breeding programs have led to a high number of artificially produced hybrids, for which the determination of genetically involved species by morphological characteristics is often difficult. This necessitates the use of molecular markers for the identification of both maternal as well as paternal species, and in the case of complex hybrids, the genealogy. For this reason, we developed new chloroplast and nuclear markers for the differentiation of up to 19 poplar species, with one to 32 individuals per species regularly used in breeding programs based on already known barcoding, other chloroplast regions, and nuclear genes of interest. We developed methods to identify species by either species-specific nucleotide variations or, when no initial information for the species was given, by using a set of markers either in a procedure of exclusion or in a multiplexed marker set. The developed markers can all be used with low-cost equipment, and some can additionally be applied using a genetic analyzer. We combined these markers in multiplexes for a very fast and easy-to-use application for the identification of poplar species and their hybrids.
