PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:1332. [PMID: 38794403 PMCID: PMC11124919 DOI: 10.3390/plants13101332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
The family Chenopodiaceae Vent. (Amaranthaceae s.l.) is known for its taxonomic complexity, comprising species of significant economic and ecological importance. Despite its significance, the availability of plastid genome data for this family remains limited. This study involved assembling and characterizing the complete plastid genomes of four Caroxylon Thunb. species within the tribe Salsoleae s.l., utilizing next-generation sequencing technology. We compared genome features, nucleotide diversity, and repeat sequences and conducted a phylogenetic analysis of ten Salsoleae s.l. species. The size of the plastid genome varied among four Caroxylon species, ranging from 150,777 bp (C. nitrarium) to 151,307 bp (C. orientale). Each studied plastid genome encoded 133 genes, including 114 unique genes. This set of genes includes 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Eight divergent regions (accD, atpF, matK, ndhF-ndhG, petB, rpl20-rpl22, rpoC2, and ycf3) were identified in ten Salsoleae s.l. plastid genomes, which could be potential DNA-barcoding markers. Additionally, 1106 repeat elements were detected, consisting of 814 simple sequence repeats, 92 tandem repeats, 88 forward repeats, 111 palindromic repeats, and one reverse repeat. The phylogenetic analysis provided robust support for the relationships within Caroxylon species. These data represent a valuable resource for future phylogenetic studies within the genus.

[PMID: 38389506 DOI: 10.1080/14786419.2024.2319655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
In tropical forests, Hoya, a plant with significant indigenous medicinal applications, has been underexplored in pharmacological studies. This systematic review meticulously investigates the diverse pharmacological effects exhibited by various Hoya species on human health. A comprehensive literature search, encompassing Scopus, ScienceDirect, and SpringerLink databases, employed specific keyword combinations ('Hoya' and 'pharmacological properties' OR 'pharmacology property'). The included studies exclusively focused on Hoya's impact on human health. The findings underscore Hoya's potential as a medicinal plant, demonstrating promising attributes such as anticancer, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, antinociceptive, and parasympatholytic effects. Despite these promising indications, the review underscores the necessity for further in vivo investigations to fully unlock Hoya's therapeutic potential. A comprehensive understanding of its mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety in living systems is imperative for realising its holistic therapeutic benefits.

[PMID: 38236560 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-023-09184-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Plant mitochondrial genomes are characterized by high homologous recombination, extensive intergenic spacers, conservation in DNA sequences, and gene content. The Hancornia genus belongs to the Apocynaceae family, with H. speciosa Gomes being the sole species in the genus. It is an siganificant commercial fruit crop; however, only a number of studies have been conducted. In this study, we present the mitochondrial genome of H. speciosa and compare it with other mitochondrial genomes within the Apocynaceae family. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 2.8 Gb of Illumina paired-end reads were used to obtain the mitogenome, resulting in 22 contigs that were merged using 6.1 Gb of Illumina mate-pair reads to obtain a circular chromosome. The mitochondrial genome of H. speciosa is circular, containing 63 predicted functional genes, spanning a length of 741,811 bp, with a CG content of 44%. Within the mitogenome, 50 chloroplast DNA sequences, equivalent to 1.72% of the genome, were detected. However, intergenic spaces accounted for 703,139 bp (94.79% of the genome), and 287 genes were predicted, totaling 173,721 bp. CONCLUSION This suggests the incorporation of nuclear DNA into the mitogenome of H. speciosa and self duplication. Comparative analysis among the mitogenomes in the Apocynaceae family revealed a diversity in the structure mediated by recombination, with similar gene content and large intergenic spaces.

[PMID: 36581140 DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2022.107688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Apocynaceae are one of the ten species-richest angiosperm families. However, the backbone phylogeny of the family is yet less well supported, and the evolution of plastome structure has not been thoroughly studied for the whole family. Herein, a total of 101 complete plastomes including 35 newly sequenced, 24 reassembled from public raw data and the rest from the NCBI GenBank database, representing 26 of 27 tribes of Apocynaceae, were used for comparative plastome analysis. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using a combined plastid data matrix of 77 protein-coding genes from 162 taxa, encompassing all tribes and 41 of 49 subtribes of Apocynaceae. Plastome lengths ranged from 150,897 bp in Apocynum venetum to 178,616 bp in Hoya exilis. Six types of boundaries between the inverted repeat (IR) regions and single copy (SC) regions were identified. Different sizes of IR expansion were found in three lineages, including Alyxieae, Ceropegieae and Marsdenieae, suggesting multiple expansion events of the IRs over the SC regions in Apocynaceae. The IR regions of Marsdenieae evolved in two ways: expansion towards the large single copy (LSC) region in Lygisma + Stephanotis + Ruehssia + Gymnema (Cosmopolitan clade), and expansion towards both LSC and small single copy (SSC) region in Dischidia-Hoya alliance and Marsdenia (Asia-Pacific clade). Six coding genes and five non-coding regions were identified as highly variable, including accD, ccsA-ndhD, clpP, matK, ndhF, ndhG-ndhI, trnG(GCC)-trnfM(CAU), trnH(GUG)-psbA, trnY(GUA)-trnE(UUC), ycf1, and ycf2. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses resulted in nearly identical tree topologies and produced a well-resolved backbone comprising 15 consecutive dichotomies that subdivided Apocynaceae into 15 clades. The subfamily Periplocoideae were embedded in the Apocynoid grade and were sister to the Echiteae-Odontadenieae-Mesechiteae clade with high support values. Three tribes (Melodineae, Vinceae, and Willughbeieae), the subtribe Amphineuriinae, and four genera (Beaumontia, Ceropegia, Hoya, and Stephanotis) were not resolved as monophyletic. Our work sheds light on the backbone phylogenetic relationships in the family Apocynaceae and offers insights into the evolution of Apocynaceae plastomes using the most densely sampled plastome dataset to date.

Abstract
Hoya is a genus in Apocynaceae-Asclepiadoideae, known for its showy wax flowers, making it a popular ornamental plant. However, phylogenetic relationships among most Hoya species are not yet fully resolved. In this study, we sequenced 31 plastomes of Hoya group species using genome skimming data and carried out multiple analyses to understand genome variation to resolve the phylogenetic positions of some newly sequenced Chinese endemic species. We also screened possible hotspots, trnT-trnL-trnF, psba-trnH, and trnG-UCC, ndhF, ycf1, matK, rps16, and accD genes that could be used as molecular markers for DNA barcoding and species identification. Using maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI), a species phylogeny was constructed. The newly assembled plastomes genomes showed the quasi-tripartite structure characteristic for Hoya and Dischidia with a reduced small single copy (SSC) and extremely enlarged inverted repeats (IR). The lengths ranged from 175,404 bp in Hoya lacunosa to 179,069 bp in H. ariadna. The large single copy (LSC) regions ranged from 80,795 bp (Hoya liangii) to 92,072 bp (Hoya_sp2_ZCF6006). The massively expanded IR regions were relatively conserved in length, with the small single-copy region reduced to a single gene, ndhF. We identified 235 long dispersed repeats (LDRs) and ten highly divergent hotspots in the 31 Hoya plastomes, which can be used as DNA barcodes for species identification. The phylogeny supports Clemensiella as a distinct genus. Hoya ignorata is resolved as a relative to Clade VI species. This study discloses the advantages of using Plastome genome data to study phylogenetic relationships.
