Comparative chloroplast genome analyses of cultivated and wild Capsicum species shed light on evolution and phylogeny. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 24:797. [PMID: 39179978 PMCID: PMC11344449 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-024-05513-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 08/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/26/2024]
Abstract
The chloroplast (cp.) genome, also known as plastome, plays crucial roles in plant survival, adaptation, and evolution. The stable genetic structure of cp. genomes provides an ideal system for investigating species evolution. We sequenced three complete cp. genome sequences of Capsicum species and analyzed them using sequences of various Capsicum species retrieved from the NCBI database. The cp. genome of Capsicum species maintains a well-preserved quadripartite structure consisting of two inverted repeats (IRs) flanked by a large single copy (LSC) region and a small single copy (SSC) region. The sizes of cp. genome sequences ranged from 156,583 bp (C. lycianthoides) to 157,390 bp (C.pubescens). A total of 127-132 unique genes, including 83-87 protein-coding, 36-37 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes, were predicted. Comparison of cp. genomes of 10 Capsicum species revealed high sequence similarity in genome-wide organization and gene arrangements. Fragments of trnT-UGU/trnL-UAA, ccsA, ndhD, rps12, and ycf1 were identified as variable regions, and nucleotide variability of LSC and SSC was higher than that of IR. Phylogenetic speciation analysis showed that the major domesticated C. annuum species were the most extensively divergent species and closely related to C. tovarii and C. frutescens. Analysis of divergent times suggested that a substantial range of speciation events started occurring ~ 25.79 million years ago (Mya). Overall, comparative analysis of cp. genomes of Capsicum species not only offers new insights into their genetic variation and phylogenetic relationships, but also lays a foundation for evolutionary history, genetic diversity, conservation, and biological breeding of Capsicum species.

The Complete Chloroplast Genomes of Bulbophyllum (Orchidaceae) Species: Insight into Genome Structure Divergence and Phylogenetic Analysis. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:2665. [PMID: 38473912 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25052665] [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: 12/25/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Bulbophyllum is one of the largest genera and presents some of the most intricate taxonomic problems in the family Orchidaceae, including species of ornamental and medical importance. The lack of knowledge regarding the characterization of Bulbophyllum chloroplast (cp) genomes has imposed current limitations on our study. Here, we report the complete cp genomes of seven Bulbophyllum species, including B. ambrosia, B. crassipes, B. farreri, B. hamatum, B. shanicum, B. triste, and B. violaceolabellum, and compared with related taxa to provide a better understanding of their genomic information on taxonomy and phylogeny. A total of 28 Bulbophyllum cp genomes exhibit typical quadripartite structures with lengths ranging from 145,092 bp to 165,812 bp and a GC content of 36.60% to 38.04%. Each genome contained 125-132 genes, encompassing 74-86 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The genome arrangements, gene contents, and length were similar, with differences observed in ndh gene composition. It is worth noting that there were exogenous fragment insertions in the IR regions of B. crassipes. A total of 18-49 long repeats and 38-80 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were detected and the single nucleotide (A/T) was dominant in Bulbophyllum cp genomes, with an obvious A/T preference. An analysis of relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) revealed that leucine (Leu) was the most frequently used codon, while cysteine (Cys) was the least used. Six highly variable regions (rpl32-trnLUAG > trnTUGU-trnLUAA > trnFGAA-ndhJ > rps15-ycf1 > rbcL-accD > psbI-trnSGCU) and five coding sequences (ycf1 > rps12 > matK > psbK > rps15) were identified as potential DNA markers based on nucleotide diversity. Additionally, 31,641 molecular diagnostic characters (MDCs) were identified in complete cp genomes. A phylogenetic analysis based on the complete cp genome sequences and 68 protein-coding genes strongly supported that 28 Bulbophyllum species can be divided into four branches, sects. Brachyantha, Cirrhopetalum, and Leopardinae, defined by morphology, were non-monophyly. Our results enriched the genetic resources of Bulbophyllum, providing valuable information to illustrate the complicated taxonomy, phylogeny, and evolution process of the genus.

Abstract
Chrysoglossum ornatum Blume, the type species of Chrysoglossum Blume, belongs to the tribe Collabieae of the subfamily Epidendroideae of Orchidaceae. In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and analyzed the complete chloroplast genome of C. ornatum. The result showed that the complete chloroplast genome of C. ornatum was 158,175 bp in size, consisting of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87,235 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,384 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,278 bp. The chloroplast genome encoded 113 unique genes, comprising 80 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis inferred from the complete chloroplast genome indicated that Chrysoglossum was closely related to Collabium Blume. This study provides genomic resources helpful for further phylogenetic and biodiversity research on Chrysoglossum.

Abstract
Hordeum L. is widely distributed in mountain or plateau of subtropical and warm temperate regions around the world. Three wild perennial Hordeum species, including H. bogdanii, H. brevisubulatum, and H. violaceum, have been used as forage and for grassland ecological restoration in high-altitude areas in recent years. To date, the degree of interspecies sequence variation in the three Hordeum species within existing gene pools is still not well-defined. Herein, we sequenced and assembled chloroplast (cp) genomes of the three species. The results revealed that the cp genome of H. bogdanii showed certain sequence variations compared with the cp genomes of the other two species (H. brevisubulatum and H. violaceum), and the latter two were characterized by a higher relative affinity. Parity rule 2 plot (PR2) analysis illuminated that most genes of all ten Hordeum species were concentrated in nucleotide T and G. Numerous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and insertion/deletion (In/Del) events were detected in the three Hordeum species. A series of hotspots regions (tRNA-GGU ~ tRNA-GCA, tRNA-UGU ~ ndhJ, psbE ~ rps18, ndhF ~ tRNA-UAG, etc.) were identified by mVISTA procedures, and the five highly polymorphic genes (tRNA-UGC, tRNA-UAA, tRNA-UUU, tRNA-UAC, and ndhA) were proved by the nucleotide diversity (Pi). Although the distribution and existence of cp simple sequence repeats (cpSSRs) were predicted in the three Hordeum cp genomes, no rearrangement was found between them. A similar phenomenon has been found in the cp genome of the other seven Hordeum species, which has been published so far. In addition, evolutionary relationships were reappraised based on the currently reported cp genome of Hordeum L. This study offers a framework for gaining a better understanding of the evolutionary history of Hordeum species through the re-examination of their cp genomes, and by identifying highly polymorphic genes and hotspot regions that could provide important insights into the genetic diversity and differentiation of these species.

Abstract
Dendrobium orchids have multiple photosynthetic pathways, which can be used as a model system for studying the evolution of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). In this study, based on the results of the net photosynthetic rates (Pn), we classified Dendrobium species into three photosynthetic pathways, then employed and compared their chloroplast genomes. The Dendrobium chloroplast genomes have typical quartile structures, ranging from 150,841-153,038 bp. The apparent differences in GC content, sequence variability, and IR junctions of SSC/IRB junctions (JSBs) were measured within chloroplast genomes among different photosynthetic pathways. The phylogenetic analysis has revealed multiple independent CAM origins among the selected Dendrobium species. After counting insertions and deletions (InDels), we found that the occurrence rates and distribution densities among different photosynthetic pathways were inconsistent. Moreover, the evolution patterns of chloroplast genes in Dendrobium among three photosynthetic pathways were also diversified. Considering the diversified genome structure variations and the evolution patterns of protein-coding genes among Dendrobium species, we proposed that the evolution of the chloroplast genomes was disproportional among different photosynthetic pathways. Furthermore, climatic correlation revealed that temperature and precipitation have influenced the distribution among different photosynthetic pathways and promoted the foundation of CAM pathway in Dendrobium orchids. Based on our study, we provided not only new insights into the CAM evolution of Dendrobium but also provided beneficial genetic data resources for the further systematical study of Dendrobium.

BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2022; 22:529. [PMID: 36376794 PMCID: PMC9661794 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-022-03904-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo, which contains rich polysaccharides, flavonoids and alkaloids, is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with important economic benefits, while various pathogens have brought huge losses to its industrialization. NBS gene family is the largest class of plant disease resistance (R) genes, proteins of which are widely distributed in the upstream and downstream of the plant immune systems and are responsible for receiving infection signals and regulating gene expression respectively. It is of great significance for the subsequent disease resistance breeding of D. officinale to identify NBS genes by using the newly published high-quality chromosome-level D. officinale genome. RESULTS In this study, a total of 655 NBS genes were uncovered from the genomes of D. officinale, D. nobile, D. chrysotoxum, V. planifolia, A. shenzhenica, P. equestris and A. thaliana. The phylogenetic results of CNL-type protein sequences showed that orchid NBS-LRR genes have significantly degenerated on branches a and b. The Dendrobium NBS gene homology analysis showed that the Dendrobium NBS genes have two obvious characteristics: type changing and NB-ARC domain degeneration. Because the NBS-LRR genes have both NB-ARC and LRR domains, 22 D. officinale NBS-LRR genes were used for subsequent analyses, such as gene structures, conserved motifs, cis-elements and functional annotation analyses. All these results suggested that D. officinale NBS-LRR genes take part in the ETI system, plant hormone signal transduction pathway and Ras signaling pathway. Finally, there were 1,677 DEGs identified from the salicylic acid (SA) treatment transcriptome data of D. officinale. Among them, six NBS-LRR genes (Dof013264, Dof020566, Dof019188, Dof019191, Dof020138 and Dof020707) were significantly up-regulated. However, only Dof020138 was closely related to other pathways from the results of WGCNA, such as pathogen identification pathways, MAPK signaling pathways, plant hormone signal transduction pathways, biosynthetic pathways and energy metabolism pathways. CONCLUSION Our results revealed that the NBS gene degenerations are common in the genus Dendrobium, which is the main reason for the diversity of NBS genes, and the NBS-LRR genes generally take part in D. officinale ETI system and signal transduction pathways. In addition, the D. officinale NBS-LRR gene Dof020138, which may have an important breeding value, is indirectly activated by SA in the ETI system.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:1018029. [PMID: 36212315 PMCID: PMC9539832 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.1018029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
High-throughput sequencing technology has been facilitated the development of new methodologies and approaches for studying the origin and evolution of plant genomes and subgenomes, population domestication, and functional genomics. Orchids have tens of thousands of members in nature. Many of them have promising application potential in the extension and conservation of the ecological chain, the horticultural use of ornamental blossoms, and the utilization of botanical medicines. However, a large-scale gene knockout mutant library and a sophisticated genetic transformation system are still lacking in the improvement of orchid germplasm resources. New gene editing tools, such as the favored CRISPR-Cas9 or some base editors, have not yet been widely applied in orchids. In addition to a large variety of orchid cultivars, the high-precision, high-throughput genome sequencing technology is also required for the mining of trait-related functional genes. Nowadays, the focus of orchid genomics research has been directed to the origin and classification of species, genome evolution and deletion, gene duplication and chromosomal polyploidy, and flower morphogenesis-related regulation. Here, the progressing achieved in orchid molecular biology and genomics over the past few decades have been discussed, including the evolution of genome size and polyploidization. The frequent incorporation of LTR retrotransposons play important role in the expansion and structural variation of the orchid genome. The large-scale gene duplication event of the nuclear genome generated plenty of recently tandem duplicated genes, which drove the evolution and functional divergency of new genes. The evolution and loss of the plastid genome, which mostly affected genes related to photosynthesis and autotrophy, demonstrated that orchids have experienced more separate transitions to heterotrophy than any other terrestrial plant. Moreover, large-scale resequencing provide useful SNP markers for constructing genetic maps, which will facilitate the breeding of novel orchid varieties. The significance of high-throughput sequencing and gene editing technologies in the identification and molecular breeding of the trait-related genes in orchids provides us with a representative trait-improving gene as well as some mechanisms worthy of further investigation. In addition, gene editing has promise for the improvement of orchid genetic transformation and the investigation of gene function. This knowledge may provide a scientific reference and theoretical basis for orchid genome studies.
