Abstract
Among the Hevea species, rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the most important source of natural rubber. In previous studies, we sequenced the complete nuclear and chloroplast genomes of Hevea species, providing an invaluable resource for studying their phylogeny, disease resistance, and breeding. However, given that plant mitochondrial genomes are more complex and more difficult to assemble than that of the other organelles, little is known about their mitochondrial genome, which limits the comprehensive understanding of Hevea genomic evolution. In this study, we sequenced and assembled the mitochondrial genomes of four Hevea species. The four mitochondrial genomes had consistent GC contents, codon usages and AT skews. However, there were significant differences in the genome lengths and sequence repeats. Specifically, the circular mitochondrial genomes of the four Hevea species ranged from 935,732 to 1,402,206 bp, with 34-35 unique protein-coding genes, 35-38 tRNA genes, and 6-13 rRNA genes. In addition, there were 17,294-46,552 bp intergenomic transfer fragments between the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes, consisting of eight intact genes (psaA, rrn16S, tRNA-Val, rrn5S, rrn4.5S, tRNA-Arg, tRNA-Asp, and tRNA-Asn), intergenic spacer regions and partial gene sequences. The evolutionary position of Hevea species, crucial for understanding its adaptive strategies and relation to other species, was verified by phylogenetic analysis based on the protein-coding genes in the mitochondrial genomes of 21 Malpighiales species. The findings from this study not only provide valuable insights into the structure and evolution of the Hevea mitochondrial genome but also lay the foundation for further molecular, evolutionary studies, and genomic breeding studies on rubber tree and other Hevea species, thereby potentially informing conservation and utilization strategies.

Characterization of the CMS genetic regulation through comparative complete mitochondrial genome sequencing in Nicotiana tabacum. THE PLANT GENOME 2024; 17:e20409. [PMID: 37961811 DOI: 10.1002/tpg2.20409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2023] [Revised: 10/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
Mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of flowering plants vary greatly in structure and size, which can lead to frequent gene mutation, rearrangement, or recombination, then result in the cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) mutants. In tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), suaCMS lines are widely used in heterosis breeding; however, the related genetic regulations are not very clear. In this study, the cytological observation indicated that the pollen abortion of tobacco suaCMS(HD) occurred at the very early stage of the stamen primordia differentiation. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genomes of suaCMS(HD) and its maintainer HD were sequenced using the PacBio and Illumina Hiseq technology. The total length of the assembled mitogenomes of suaCMS(HD) and HD was 494,317 bp and 430,694 bp, respectively. Comparative analysis indicated that the expanded 64 K bases in suaCMS(HD) were mainly located in noncoding regions, and 23 and 21 big syntenic blocks (>5000 bp) were found in suaCMS(HD) and HD with a series of repeats. Electron transport chain-related genes were highly conserved in two mitogenomes, except five genes (ATP4, ATP6, COX2, CcmFC, and SDH3) with substantial substitutions. Three suaCMS(HD)-specific genes, orf261, orf291, and orf433, were screened. Sequence analysis and RT-PCR verification showed that they were unique to suaCMS(HD). Further gene location analysis and protein property prediction indicated that all the three genes were likely candidates for suaCMS(HD). This study provides new insight into understanding the suaCMS mechanism and is useful for improving tobacco breeding.

Yu X, Feng Y, Zhang J. Characterization of the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Wintersweet ( Chimonanthus praecox) and Comparative Analysis within Magnoliids. Life (Basel) 2024; 14:182. [PMID: 38398691 PMCID: PMC10890521 DOI: 10.3390/life14020182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Mitochondrial genome sequencing is a valuable tool for investigating mitogenome evolution, species phylogeny, and population genetics. Chimonanthus praecox (L.) Link, also known as "La Mei" in Chinese, is a famous ornamental and medical shrub belonging to the order Laurales of the Calycanthaceae family. Although the nuclear genomes and chloroplast genomes of certain Laurales representatives, such as Lindera glauca, Laurus nobilis, and Piper nigrum, have been sequenced, the mitochondrial genome of Laurales members remains unknown. Here, we reported the first complete mitogenome of C. praecox. The mitogenome was 972,347 bp in length and comprised 60 unique coding genes, including 40 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 17 tRNA genes, and three rRNA genes. The skewness of the PCGs showed that the AT skew (-0.0096233) was negative, while the GC skew (0.031656) was positive, indicating higher contents of T's and G's in the mitochondrial genome of C. praecox. The Ka/Ks ratio analysis showed that the Ka/Ks values of most genes were less than one, suggesting that these genes were under purifying selection. Furthermore, there is a substantial abundance of dispersed repeats in C. praecox, constituting 16.98% of the total mitochondrial genome. A total of 731 SSR repeats were identified in the mitogenome, the highest number among the eleven available magnoliids mitogenomes. The mitochondrial phylogenetic analysis based on 29 conserved PCGs placed the C. praecox in Lauraceae, and supported the sister relationship of Laurales with Magnoliales, which was congruent with the nuclear genome evidence. The present study enriches the mitogenome data of C. praecox and promotes further studies on phylogeny and plastid evolution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondrial genomes are essential for deciphering the unique evolutionary history of seed plants. However, the rules of their extreme variation in genomic size, multi-chromosomal structure, and foreign sequences remain unresolved in most plant lineages, which further hindered the application of mitogenomes in phylogenetic analyses. RESULTS Here, we took Dendrobium (Orchidaceae) which shows the great divergence of morphology and difficulty in species taxonomy as the study focus. We first de novo assembled two complete mitogenomes of Dendrobium wilsonii and Dendrobium henanense that were 763,005 bp and 807,551 bp long with multichromosomal structures. To understand the evolution of Dendrobium mitogenomes, we compared them with those of four other orchid species. The results showed great variations of repetitive and chloroplast-derived sequences in Dendrobium mitogenomes. Moreover, the intergenic content of Dendrobium mitogenomes has undergone expansion during evolution. We also newly sequenced mitogenomes of 26 Dendrobium species and reconstructed phylogenetic relationships of Dendrobium based on genomic mitochondrial and plastid data. The results indicated that the existence of chloroplast-derived sequences made the mitochondrial phylogeny display partial characteristics of the plastid phylogeny. Additionally, the mitochondrial phylogeny provided new insights into the phylogenetic relationships of Dendrobium species. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed the evolution of Dendrobium mitogenomes and the potential of mitogenomes in deciphering phylogenetic relationships at low taxonomic levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Punica granatum is a fundamentally important fruit tree that has important economic, medicinal and ornamental properties. At present, there are few reports on the mitochondrial genome of pomegranate. Hence, in this study the P. granatum mitogenome was sequenced and assembled to further understanding of organization, variation, and evolution of mitogenomes of this tree species. RESULTS The genome structure was multi-chromosomes with seven circular contigs, measuring 382,774 bp in length with a 45.91% GC content. It contained 74 genes, including 46 protein-coding genes, 25 tRNA genes, and three rRNA genes. There were 188 pairs of dispersed repeats with lengths of 30 or greater, primarily consisting of reverse complementary repeats. The mitogenome analysis identified 114SSRs and 466 RNA editing sites. Analyses of codon usage, nucleotide diversity and gene migration from chloroplast to mitochondrial were also conducted. The collinear and comparative analysis of mitochondrial structures between P. granatum and its proximal species indicated that P. granatum 'Taishanhong' was closely related to P. granatum 'Qingpitian' and Lagerstroemia indica. Phylogenetic examination based on the mitogenome also confirmed the evolutionary relationship. CONCLUSION The results offered crucial information on the evolutionary biology of pomegranate and highlighted ways to promote the utilization of the species' germplasm.

Abstract
The family Schisandraceae is a basal angiosperm plant group distributed in East and Southeast Asia and includes many medicinal plant species such as Schisandra chinensis. In this study, mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of two species, Schisandra repanda and Kadsura japonica, in the family were characterized through de novo assembly using sequencing data obtained with Oxford Nanopore and Illumina sequencing technologies. The mitogenomes of S. repanda were assembled into one circular contig (571,107 bp) and four linear contigs (10,898-607,430 bp), with a total of 60 genes: 38 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 19 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. The mitogenomes of K. japonica were assembled into five circular contigs (211,474-973,503 bp) and three linear contigs (8,010-72,712 bp), with a total of 66 genes: 44 PCGs, 19 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. The mitogenomes of the two species had complex structural features with high repeat numbers and chloroplast-derived sequences, as observed in other plant mitogenomes. Phylogenetic analysis based on PCGs revealed the taxonomical relationships of S. repanda and K. japonica with other species from Schisandraceae. Finally, molecular markers were developed to distinguish between S. repanda, K. japonica, and S. chinensis on the basis of InDel polymorphisms present in the mitogenomes. The mitogenomes of S. repanda and K. japonica will be valuable resources for molecular and taxonomic studies of plant species that belong to the family Schisandraceae.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The genus Rosa (Rosaceae) contains approximately 200 species, most of which have high ecological and economic values. Chloroplast genome sequences are important for studying species differentiation, phylogeny, and RNA editing. RESULTS In this study, the chloroplast genomes of three Rosa species, Rosa hybrida, Rosa acicularis, and Rosa rubiginosa, were assembled and compared with other reported Rosa chloroplast genomes. To investigate the RNA editing sites in R. hybrida (commercial rose cultivar), we mapped RNA-sequencing data to the chloroplast genome and analyzed their post-transcriptional features. Rosa chloroplast genomes presented a quadripartite structure and had highly conserved gene order and gene content. We identified four mutation hotspots (ycf3-trnS, trnT-trnL, psbE-petL, and ycf1) as candidate molecular markers for differentiation in the Rosa species. Additionally, 22 chloroplast genomic fragments with a total length of 6,192 bp and > 90% sequence similarity with their counterparts were identified in the mitochondrial genome, representing 3.96% of the chloroplast genome. Phylogenetic analysis including all sections and all subgenera revealed that the earliest divergence in the chloroplast phylogeny roughly distinguished species of sections Pimpinellifoliae and Rosa and subgenera Hulthemia. Moreover, DNA- and RNA-sequencing data revealed 19 RNA editing sites, including three synonymous and 16 nonsynonymous, in the chloroplast genome of R. hybrida that were distributed among 13 genes. CONCLUSIONS The genome structure and gene content of Rosa chloroplast genomes are similar across various species. Phylogenetic analysis based on the Rosa chloroplast genomes has high resolution. Additionally, a total of 19 RNA editing sites were validated by RNA-Seq mapping in R. hybrida. The results provide valuable information for RNA editing and evolutionary studies of Rosa and a basis for further studies on genomic breeding of Rosa species.

Abstract
In this study, the mitochondrial genomes of two calla species, Zantedeschia aethiopica Spreng. and Zantedeschia odorata Perry., were assembled and compared for the first time. The Z. aethiopica mt genome was assembled into a single circular chromosome, measuring 675,575 bp in length with a 45.85% GC content. In contrast, the Z. odorata mt genome consisted of bicyclic chromosomes (chromosomes 1 and 2), measuring 719,764 bp and exhibiting a 45.79% GC content. Both mitogenomes harbored similar gene compositions, with 56 and 58 genes identified in Z. aethiopica and Z. odorata, respectively. Analyses of codon usage, sequence repeats, gene migration from chloroplast to mitochondrial, and RNA editing were conducted for both Z. aethiopica and Z. odorata mt genomes. Phylogenetic examination based on the mt genomes of these two species and 30 other taxa provided insights into their evolutionary relationships. Additionally, the core genes in the gynoecium, stamens, and mature pollen grains of the Z. aethiopica mt genome were investigated, which revealed maternal mitochondrial inheritance in this species. In summary, this study offers valuable genomic resources for future research on mitogenome evolution and the molecular breeding of calla lily.

Abstract
Gentiana crassicaulis and G. straminea are alpine plants of Gentiana with important medicinal value and complex genetic backgrounds. In this study, the mitochondrial genomes (mtDNAs) of these two species were sequenced. The mtDNAs of G. crassicaulis and G. straminea are 368,808 and 410,086 bp long, respectively, 52 and 49 unique genes are annotated in the two species, and the gene arrangement varies widely. Compared to G. crassicaulis, G. straminea loses three effective genes, namely atp6, trnG-GCC and trnV-GAC. As a pseudogene, the atp6 gene of G. straminea is incomplete, which is rare in higher plants. We detected 1696 and 1858 pairs of long repeats and 213 SSRs and 250 SSs in the mtDNAs of G. crassicaulis and G. straminea, respectively. There are 392 SNPs and 18 InDels between the two genomes, and syntenic sequence and structural variation analysis show low collinearity between the two genomes. Chloroplast DNA transferring to mtDNA is observed in both species, and 46,511 and 55,043 bp transferred segments containing three tRNA genes are identified, respectively. Comparative analysis of mtDNAs of G. crassicaulis, G. straminea and four species of Gentianales determined 18 core genes, and there is no specific gene in G. crassicaulis and G. straminea. The phylogenetic tree based on mtDNAs places Gentianaceae in a branch of Gentianales. This study is the first to analyze the mtDNAs of Gentianaceae, which could provide information for analysis of the structure of mtDNAs of higher plants and phylogenetic research of Gentianaceae and Gentianales.

Abstract
Hemerocallis citrina is a perennial herbaceous plant that is dedicated to mothers in Chinese culture and is widely distributed across the country. As a popular species with a long history of cultivation and utilization, it is renowned for its remarkable edible and medicinal value. In this study, we integrated Illumina short-read and Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing to generate a complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) assembly of H. citrina. The H. citrina mitogenome has a multiple chromosomal structure consisting of three circular molecules that are 45,607 bp, 239,991 bp, and 182,864 bp long. We correspondingly annotated 66 genes, comprising 45 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 17 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Comparative analysis of gene organization indicated that six syntenic gene clusters were conserved in the mitogenomes of the compared plants. The investigation of repeat content revealed repeat-rich nature of the H. citrina mitogenome, for which plentiful dispersed repeats were characterized to correlate with the size of the mitogenome. The codon usage behavior disclosed that Leucine (Leu) and Serine (Ser) were the most preferred amino acids in H. citrina, and nearly all of the codons with relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) values greater than 1 showed the preference of A or T ending. Moreover, we inferred a total of 679 RNA editing sites in all mitochondrial PCGs, which presented perfect C-to-U types and tended to lead to the alteration of internal codons. Subsequent selective pressure analysis showed that the majority of the PCGs had undergone evolutionary negative selections, with atp9 in particular undergoing strong stabilizing selection, reflecting its indispensable function in mitogenomes. According to the phylogenetic analysis, H. citrina is close to the species Allium cepa (Amaryllidaceae) and Asparagus officinalis (Asparagaceae) in evolutionary terms. Overall, this project presents the first complete mitogenome of H. citrina, which could provide a reference genome for the comprehensive exploration of the Asphodelaceae family and can facilitate further genomic breeding and evolutionary research on this medicine-food homologous plant.

Abstract
Rhododendron × pulchrum, an important horticultural species, is widely distributed in Europe, Asia, and North America. To analyze the phylogenetic and organelle genome information of R. × pulchrum and its related species, the organelle genome of R. × pulchrum was sequenced and assembled. The complete mitochondrial genome showed lineage DNA molecules, which were 816,410 bp long and contained 64 genes, namely 24 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 3 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 37 protein-coding genes. The chloroplast genome of R. × pulchrum was reassembled and re-annotated; the results were different from those of previous studies. There were 42 and 46 simple sequence repeats (SSR) identified from the mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes of R. × pulchrum, respectively. Five genes (nad1, nad2, nad4, nad7, and rps3) were potentially useful molecular markers. The R. × pulchrum mitochondrial genome collinear alignment among five species of the Ericaceae showed that the mitochondrial genomes of these related species have a high degree of homology with R. × pulchrum in this gene region, and the most conservative genes were trnC-GCA, trnD-GUC, trnM-CAU, trnN-GUU, trnY-GUA, atp4, nad4, nad2, nad5, ccmC, and rrn26. The phylogenetic trees of mitochondrial genome showed that R. simsii was a sister to R. × pulchrum. The results verified that there was gene rearrangement between R. × pulchrum and R. simsii mitochondrial genomes. The codon usage bias of 10 Ericaceae mitochondrial genes and 7 Rhododendron chloroplast genes were influenced by mutation, while other genes codon usages had undergone selection. The study identified 13 homologous fragments containing gene sequences between the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of R. × pulchrum. Overall, our results illustrate the organelle genome information could explain the phylogenetics of plants and could be used to develop molecular markers and genetic evolution. Our study will facilitate the study of population genetics and evolution in Rhododendron and other genera in Ericaceae.

Abstract
As a monocotyledonous plant in family Cyperaceae, yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus L.) is unique in accumulating a substantial amount of oil in underground tubers and provides a model system for studying oil accumulation in nonseed tissues. However, no data on the mitochondrial and nuclear genome sequences of this species are available, which greatly limits our understanding of its evolutionary characteristics and some essential biological mechanisms. In the present study, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the cultivated yellow nutsedge. The analysis of the genome showed that the yellow nutsedge mitochondrial genome is 1,002,696 bp in size and encodes 62 genes consisting of 36 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 20 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and six ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Compared with other angiosperms, yellow nutsedge mitochondrial genome contains much higher percentage of noncoding sequences (95.36%). Sixteen plastid-derived fragments were identified to be strongly associated with mitochondrial genes including one intact plastid-related gene (ndhH). Comparative analysis with seven other sequenced plant mitochondrial genomes revealed that two syntenic gene clusters, rps3-rpl16 and rps12-nad3, are highly conserved in all plant mitochondrial genomes, and the mitochondrial genome of yellow nutsedge is more similar to those of monocotyledons in the gene order. Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 shared protein-encoding genes in eight plant species showed that yellow nutsedge is evolutionarily more closely related to monocotyledonary species. Overall, the species-specific features of the cultivated yellow nutsedge mitochondrial genome provide additional information for the evolutionary and comparative genomic studies in the yellow nutsedge and other Cyperus species of the Cyperaceae family.

Breaking the limits - multichromosomal structure of an early eudicot Pulsatilla patens mitogenome reveals extensive RNA-editing, longest repeats and chloroplast derived regions among sequenced land plant mitogenomes. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2022; 22:109.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mitogenomes of vascular plants are one of the most structurally diverse molecules. In the present study we characterize mitogenomes of a rare and endangered species Pulsatilla patens. We investigated the gene content and its RNA editing potential, repeats distribution and plastid derived sequences. RESULTS The mitogenome structure of early divergent eudicot, endangered Pulsatilla patens does not support the master chromosome hypothesis, revealing the presence of three linear chromosomes of total length 986 613 bp. The molecules are shaped by the presence of extremely long, exceeding 87 kbp repeats and multiple chloroplast-derived regions including nearly complete inverted repeat. Since the plastid IR content of Ranunculales is very characteristic, the incorporation into mitogenome could be explained rather by intracellular transfer than mitochondrial HGT. The mitogenome contains almost a complete set of genes known from other vascular plants with exception of rps10 and sdh3, the latter being present but pseudogenized. Analysis of long ORFs enabled the identification of genes which are rarely present in plant mitogenomes, including RNA and DNA polymerases, albeit their presence even at species level is variable. Mitochondrial transcripts of P. patens were edited with a high frequency, which exceeded the level known in other analyzed angiosperms, despite the strict qualification criteria of counting the editing events and taking into analysis generally less frequently edited leaf transcriptome. The total number of edited sites was 902 and nad4 was identified as the most heavily edited gene with 65 C to U changes. Non-canonical, reverse U to C editing was not detected. Comparative analysis of mitochondrial genes of three Pulsatilla species revealed a level of variation comparable to chloroplast CDS dataset and much higher infrageneric differentiation than in other known angiosperm genera. The variation found in CDS of mitochondrial genes is comparable to values found among Pulsatilla plastomes. Despite the complicated mitogenome structure, 14 single copy regions of 329 kbp, not splitted by repeats or plastid-derived sequences (MTPT), revealed the potential for phylogenetic, phylogeographic and population genetics studies by revealing intra- and interspecific collinearity. CONCLUSIONS This study provides valuable new information about mitochondrial genome of early divergent eudicots, Pulsatilla patens, revealed multi-chromosomal structure and shed new light on mitogenomics of early eudicots.

Abstract
Mitogenome sequencing provides an understanding of the evolutionary mechanism of mitogenome formation, mechanisms driving plant gene order, genome structure, and migration sequences. Data on the mitochondrial genome for family Convolvulaceae members is lacking. E. alsinoides, also known as shankhpushpi, is an important medicinal plant under the family Convolvulaceae, widely used in the Ayurvedic system of medicine. We identified the mitogenome of E. alsinoides using the Illumina mate-pair sequencing platform, and annotated using bioinformatics approaches in the present study. The mitogenome of E. alsinoides was 344184 bp in length and comprised 46 unique coding genes, including 31 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 12 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. The secondary structure of tRNAs shows that all the tRNAs can be folded into canonical clover-leaf secondary structures, except three trnW, trnG, and trnC. Measurement of the skewness of the nucleotide composition showed that the AT and GC skew is positive, indicating higher A's and G's in the mitogenome of E. alsinoides. The Ka/Ks ratios of 11 protein-coding genes (atp1, ccmC, cob, cox1, rps19, rps12, nad3, nad9, atp9, rpl5, nad4L) were <1, indicating that these genes were under purifying selection. Synteny and gene order analysis were performed to identify homologous genes among the related species. Synteny blocks representing nine genes (nad9, nad2, ccmFc, nad1, nad4, nad5, matR, cox1, nad7) were observed in all the species of Solanales. Gene order comparison showed that a high level of gene rearrangement has occurred among all the species of Solanales. The mitogenome data obtained in the present study could be used as the Convolvulaceae family representative for future studies, as there is no complex taxonomic history associated with this plant.

Abstract
Mango is an important commercial fruit crop belonging to the genus Mangifera. In this study, we reported and compared four newly sequenced plastid genomes of the genus Mangifera, which showed high similarities in overall size (157,780–157,853 bp), genome structure, gene order, and gene content. Three mutation hotspots (trnG-psbZ, psbD-trnT, and ycf4-cemA) were identified as candidate DNA barcodes for Mangifera. These three DNA barcode candidate sequences have high species identification ability. We also identified 12 large fragments that were transferred from the plastid genome to the mitochondrial genome, and found that the similarity was more than 99%. The total size of the transferred fragment was 35,652 bp, accounting for 22.6% of the plastid genome. Fifteen intact chloroplast genes, four tRNAs and numerous partial genes and intergenic spacer regions were identified. There are many of these genes transferred from mitochondria to the chloroplast in other species genomes. Phylogenetic analysis based on whole plastid genome data provided a high support value, and the interspecies relationships within Mangifera were resolved well.

Abstract
Salvia species have been widely used as medicinal plants and have played an important role in the treatment and recovery of individuals with COVID-19. In this study, we reported two newly identified whole chloroplast genome sequences of Salvia medicinal plants (Salvia yangii and Salvia miltiorrhiza f. alba) and compared them with those of seven other reported Salvia chloroplast genomes. These were proven to be highly similar in terms of overall size, genome structure, gene content, and gene order. We identified 10 mutation hot spots (trnK-rps16, atpH-atpI, psaA-ycf3, ndhC-trnV, ndhF, rpl32-trnL, ndhG-ndhI, rps15-ycf1, ycf1a, and ycf1b) as candidate DNA barcodes for Salvia. Additionally, we observed the transfer of nine large-sized chloroplast genome fragments, with a total size of 49,895 bp (accounting for 32.97% of the chloroplast genome), into the mitochondrial genome as they shared >97% sequence similarity. Phylogenetic analyses of the whole chloroplast genome provided a high resolution of Salvia. This study will pave the way for the identification and breeding of Salvia medicinal plants and further phylogenetic evolutionary research on them as well.

Abstract
Shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) is a cosmopolitan annual weed and a promising model plant for studying allopolyploidization in the evolution of angiosperms. Though plant mitochondrial genomes are a valuable source of genetic information, they are hard to assemble. At present, only the complete mitogenome of C. rubella is available out of all species of the genus Capsella. In this work, we have assembled the complete mitogenome of C. bursa-pastoris using high-precision PacBio SMRT third-generation sequencing technology. It is 287,799 bp long and contains 32 protein-coding genes, 3 rRNAs, 25 tRNAs corresponding to 15 amino acids, and 8 open reading frames (ORFs) supported by RNAseq data. Though many repeat regions have been found, none of them is longer than 1 kbp, and the most frequent structural variant originated from these repeats is present in only 4% of the mitogenome copies. The mitochondrial DNA sequence of C. bursa-pastoris differs from C. rubella, but not from C. orientalis, by two long inversions, suggesting that C. orientalis could be its maternal progenitor species. In total, 377 C to U RNA editing sites have been detected. All genes except cox1 and atp8 contain RNA editing sites, and most of them lead to non-synonymous changes of amino acids. Most of the identified RNA editing sites are identical to corresponding RNA editing sites in A. thaliana.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gymnosperms represent five of the six lineages of seed plants. However, most sequenced plant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) have been generated for angiosperms, whereas mitogenomic sequences have been generated for only six gymnosperms. In particular, complete mitogenomes are available for all major seed plant lineages except Conifer II (non-Pinaceae conifers or Cupressophyta), an important lineage including six families, which impedes a comprehensive understanding of the mitogenomic diversity and evolution in gymnosperms. RESULTS Here, we report the complete mitogenome of Taxus cuspidata in Conifer II. In comparison with previously released gymnosperm mitogenomes, we found that the mitogenomes of Taxus and Welwitschia have lost many genes individually, whereas all genes were identified in the mitogenomes of Cycas, Ginkgo and Pinaceae. Multiple tRNA genes and introns also have been lost in some lineages of gymnosperms, similar to the pattern observed in angiosperms. In general, gene clusters could be less conserved in gymnosperms than in angiosperms. Moreover, fewer RNA editing sites were identified in the Taxus and Welwitschia mitogenomes than in other mitogenomes, which could be correlated with fewer introns and frequent gene losses in these two species. CONCLUSIONS We have sequenced the Taxus cuspidata mitogenome, and compared it with mitogenomes from the other four gymnosperm lineages. The results revealed the diversity in size, structure, gene and intron contents, foreign sequences, and mutation rates of gymnosperm mitogenomes, which are different from angiosperm mitogenomes.

Comprehensive comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes from seven Panax species and development of an authentication system based on species-unique single nucleotide polymorphism markers. J Ginseng Res 2020; 44:135-144. [PMID: 32148396 PMCID: PMC7033337 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgr.2018.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 54] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2018] [Revised: 06/12/2018] [Accepted: 06/15/2018] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Panax species are important herbal medicinal plants in the Araliaceae family. Recently, we reported the complete chloroplast genomes and 45S nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences from seven Panax species, two (P . quinqu e folius and P . trifolius) from North America and five (P . ginseng, P . notoginseng, P . japonicus, P . vietnamensis, and P . stipuleanatus) from Asia. METHODS We conducted phylogenetic analysis of these chloroplast sequences with 12 other Araliaceae species and comprehensive comparative analysis among the seven Panax whole chloroplast genomes. RESULTS We identified 1,128 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in coding gene sequences, distributed among 72 of the 79 protein-coding genes in the chloroplast genomes of the seven Panax species. The other seven genes (including psaJ, psbN, rpl23, psbF, psbL, rps18, and rps7) were identical among the Panax species. We also discovered that 12 large chloroplast genome fragments were transferred into the mitochondrial genome based on sharing of more than 90% sequence similarity. The total size of transferred fragments was 60,331 bp, corresponding to approximately 38.6% of chloroplast genome. We developed 18 SNP markers from the chloroplast genic coding sequence regions that were not similar to regions in the mitochondrial genome. These markers included two or three species-specific markers for each species and can be used to authenticate all the seven Panax species from the others. CONCLUSION The comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes from seven Panax species elucidated their genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships, and 18 species-specific markers were able to discriminate among these species, thereby furthering efforts to protect the ginseng industry from economically motivated adulteration.

Abstract
Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a perennial aquatic basal eudicot belonging to a small family Nelumbonaceace, which contains only one genus with two species. It is an important horticultural plant, with its uses ranging from ornamental, nutritional to medicinal values, and has been widely used, especially in Southeast Asia. Recently, the lotus obtained a lot of attention from the scientific community. An increasing number of research papers focusing on it have been published, which have shed light on the mysteries of this species. Here, we comprehensively reviewed the latest advancement of studies on the lotus, including phylogeny, genomics and the molecular mechanisms underlying its unique properties, its economic important traits, and so on. Meanwhile, current limitations in the research of the lotus were addressed, and the potential prospective were proposed as well. We believe that the lotus will be an important model plant in horticulture with the generation of germplasm suitable for laboratory operation and the establishment of a regeneration and transformation system.

The complete organelle genomes of Physochlaina orientalis: Insights into short sequence repeats across seed plant mitochondrial genomes. Mol Phylogenet Evol 2019; 137:274-284. [PMID: 31112782 DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2019.05.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2019] [Revised: 05/14/2019] [Accepted: 05/17/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Short repeats (SR) play an important role in shaping seed plant mitochondrial genomes (mtDNAs). However, their origin, distribution, and relationships across the different plant lineages remain unresolved. We focus on the angiosperm family Solanaceae that shows great variation in repeat content and extend the study to a wide diversity of seed plants. We determined the complete nucleotide sequences of the organellar genomes of the medicinal plant Physochlaina orientalis (Solanaceae), member of the tribe Hyoscyameae. To understand the evolution of the P. orientalis mtDNA we made comparisons with those of five other Solanaceae. P. orientalis mtDNA presents the largest mitogenome (∼685 kb in size) among the Solanaceae and has an unprecedented 8-copy repeat family of ∼8.2 kb in length and a great number of SR arranged in tandem-like structures. We found that the SR in the Solanaceae share a common origin, but these only expanded in members of the tribe Hyoscyameae. We discuss a mechanism that could explain SR formation and expansion in P. orientalis and Hyoscyamus niger. Finally, the great increase in plant mitochondrial data allowed us to systematically extend our repeat analysis to a total of 136 seed plants to characterize and analyze for the first time families of SR among seed plant mtDNAs.

Complete sequence of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) mitochondrial genome and comparative analysis with the mitochondrial genomes of other plants. Sci Rep 2018; 8:12714. [PMID: 30143661 PMCID: PMC6109132 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-30297-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2017] [Accepted: 07/27/2018] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Plant mitochondrial (mt) genomes are species specific due to the vast of foreign DNA migration and frequent recombination of repeated sequences. Sequencing of the mt genome of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) is essential for elucidating its evolutionary characteristics. In the present study, single-molecule real-time sequencing technology (SMRT) was used to sequence the complete mt genome of kenaf. Results showed that the complete kenaf mt genome was 569,915 bp long and consisted of 62 genes, including 36 protein-coding, 3 rRNA and 23 tRNA genes. Twenty-five introns were found among nine of the 36 protein-coding genes, and five introns were trans-spliced. A comparative analysis with other plant mt genomes showed that four syntenic gene clusters were conserved in all plant mtDNAs. Fifteen chloroplast-derived fragments were strongly associated with mt genes, including the intact sequences of the chloroplast genes psaA, ndhB and rps7. According to the plant mt genome evolution analysis, some ribosomal protein genes and succinate dehydrogenase genes were frequently lost during the evolution of angiosperms. Our data suggest that the kenaf mt genome retained evolutionarily conserved characteristics. Overall, the complete sequencing of the kenaf mt genome provides additional information and enhances our better understanding of mt genomic evolution across angiosperms.

Dong S, Zhao C, Chen F, Liu Y, Zhang S, Wu H, Zhang L, Liu Y. The complete mitochondrial genome of the early flowering plant Nymphaea colorata is highly repetitive with low recombination. BMC Genomics 2018; 19:614. [PMID: 30107780 PMCID: PMC6092842 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-018-4991-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 73] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2017] [Accepted: 08/02/2018] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondrial genomes of flowering plants (angiosperms) are highly dynamic in genome structure. The mitogenome of the earliest angiosperm Amborella is remarkable in carrying rampant foreign DNAs, in contrast to Liriodendron, the other only known early angiosperm mitogenome that is described as 'fossilized'. The distinctive features observed in the two early flowering plant mitogenomes add to the current confusions of what early flowering plants look like. Expanded sampling would provide more details in understanding the mitogenomic evolution of early angiosperms. Here we report the complete mitochondrial genome of water lily Nymphaea colorata from Nymphaeales, one of the three orders of the earliest angiosperms. RESULTS Assembly of data from Pac-Bio long-read sequencing yielded a circular mitochondria chromosome of 617,195 bp with an average depth of 601×. The genome encoded 41 protein coding genes, 20 tRNA and three rRNA genes with 25 group II introns disrupting 10 protein coding genes. Nearly half of the genome is composed of repeated sequences, which contributed substantially to the intron size expansion, making the gross intron length of the Nymphaea mitochondrial genome one of the longest among angiosperms, including an 11.4-Kb intron in cox2, which is the longest organellar intron reported to date in plants. Nevertheless, repeat mediated homologous recombination is unexpectedly low in Nymphaea evidenced by 74 recombined reads detected from ten recombinationally active repeat pairs among 886,982 repeat pairs examined. Extensive gene order changes were detected in the three early angiosperm mitogenomes, i.e. 38 or 44 events of inversions and translocations are needed to reconcile the mitogenome of Nymphaea with Amborella or Liriodendron, respectively. In contrast to Amborella with six genome equivalents of foreign mitochondrial DNA, not a single horizontal gene transfer event was observed in the Nymphaea mitogenome. CONCLUSIONS The Nymphaea mitogenome resembles the other available early angiosperm mitogenomes by a similarly rich 64-coding gene set, and many conserved gene clusters, whereas stands out by its highly repetitive nature and resultant remarkable intron expansions. The low recombination level in Nymphaea provides evidence for the predominant master conformation in vivo with a highly substoichiometric set of rearranged molecules.

Improving Nelumbo nucifera genome assemblies using high-resolution genetic maps and BioNano genome mapping reveals ancient chromosome rearrangements. THE PLANT JOURNAL : FOR CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2018; 94:721-734. [PMID: 29575237 DOI: 10.1111/tpj.13894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2017] [Revised: 01/31/2018] [Accepted: 02/21/2018] [Indexed: 05/11/2023]
Abstract
Genetic and physical maps are powerful tools to anchor fragmented draft genome assemblies generated from next-generation sequencing. Currently, two draft assemblies of Nelumbo nucifera, the genomes of 'China Antique' and 'Chinese Tai-zi', have been released. However, there is presently no information on how the sequences are assembled into chromosomes in N. nucifera. The lack of physical maps and inadequate resolution of available genetic maps hindered the assembly of N. nucifera chromosomes. Here, a linkage map of N. nucifera containing 2371 bin markers [217 577 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)] was constructed using restriction-site associated DNA sequencing data of 181 F2 individuals and validated by adding 197 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Additionally, a BioNano optical map covering 86.20% of the 'Chinese Tai-zi' genome was constructed. The draft assembly of 'Chinese Tai-zi' was improved based on the BioNano optical map, showing an increase of the scaffold N50 from 0.989 to 1.48 Mb. Using a combination of multiple maps, 97.9% of the scaffolds in the 'Chinese Tai-zi' draft assembly and 97.6% of the scaffolds in the 'China Antique' draft assembly were anchored into pseudo-chromosomes, and the centromere regions along the pseudo-chromosomes were identified. An evolutionary scenario was proposed to reach the modern N. nucifera karyotype from the seven ancestral eudicot chromosomes. The present study provides the highest-resolution linkage map, the optical map and chromosome level genome assemblies for N. nucifera, which are valuable for the breeding and cultivation of N. nucifera and future studies of comparative and evolutionary genomics in angiosperms.
