Assembly and comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Fritillaria ussuriensis Maxim. (Liliales: Liliaceae), an endangered medicinal plant. BMC Genomics 2024; 25:773. [PMID: 39118028 PMCID: PMC11312713 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-024-10680-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fritillaria ussuriensis is an endangered medicinal plant known for its notable therapeutic properties. Unfortunately, its population has drastically declined due to the destruction of forest habitats. Thus, effectively protecting F. ussuriensis from extinction poses a significant challenge. A profound understanding of its genetic foundation is crucial. To date, research on the complete mitochondrial genome of F. ussuriensis has not yet been reported. RESULTS The complete mitochondrial genome of F. ussuriensis was sequenced and assembled by integrating PacBio and Illumina sequencing technologies, revealing 13 circular chromosomes totaling 737,569 bp with an average GC content of 45.41%. A total of 55 genes were annotated in this mitogenome, including 2 rRNA genes, 12 tRNA genes, and 41 PCGs. The mitochondrial genome of F. ussuriensis contained 192 SSRs and 4,027 dispersed repeats. In the PCGs of F. ussuriensis mitogenome, 90.00% of the RSCU values exceeding 1 exhibited a preference for A-ended or U-ended codons. In addition, 505 RNA editing sites were predicted across these PCGs. Selective pressure analysis suggested negative selection on most PCGs to preserve mitochondrial functionality, as the notable exception of the gene nad3 showed positive selection. Comparison between the mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes of F. ussuriensis revealed 20 homologous fragments totaling 8,954 bp. Nucleotide diversity analysis revealed the variation among genes, and gene atp9 was the most notable. Despite the conservation of GC content, mitogenome sizes varied significantly among six closely related species, and colinear analysis confirmed the lack of conservation in their genomic structures. Phylogenetic analysis indicated a close relationship between F. ussuriensis and Lilium tsingtauense. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we sequenced and annotated the mitogenome of F. ussuriensis and compared it with the mitogenomes of other closely related species. In addition to genomic features and evolutionary position, this study also provides valuable genomic resources to further understand and utilize this medicinal plant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Purple flowering stalk (Brassica rapa var. purpuraria) is a widely cultivated plant with high nutritional and medicinal value and exhibiting strong adaptability during growing. Mitochondrial (mt) play important role in plant cells for energy production, developing with an independent genetic system. Therefore, it is meaningful to assemble and annotate the functions for the mt genome of plants independently. Though there have been several reports referring the mt genome of in Brassica species, the genome of mt in B. rapa var. purpuraria and its functional gene variations when compared to its closely related species has not yet been addressed. RESULTS The mt genome of B. rapa var. purpuraria was assembled through the Illumina and Nanopore sequencing platforms, which revealed a length of 219,775 bp with a typical circular structure. The base composition of the whole B. rapa var. purpuraria mt genome revealed A (27.45%), T (27.31%), C (22.91%), and G (22.32%). 59 functional genes, composing of 33 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 23 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes, were annotated. The sequence repeats, codon usage, RNA editing, nucleotide diversity and gene transfer between the cp genome and mt genome were examined in the B. rapa var. purpuraria mt genome. Phylogenetic analysis show that B. rapa var. Purpuraria was closely related to B. rapa subsp. Oleifera and B. juncea. Ka/Ks analysis reflected that most of the PCGs in the B. rapa var. Purpuraria were negatively selected, illustrating that those mt genes were conserved during evolution. CONCLUSIONS The results of our findings provide valuable information on the B.rapa var. Purpuraria genome, which might facilitate molecular breeding, genetic variation and evolutionary researches for Brassica species in the future.

Abstract
Mitochondria play an important role in the energy production of plant cells through independent genetic systems. This study has aimed to assemble and annotate the functions of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of Luffa cylindrica. The mt genome of L. cylindrica contained two chromosomes with lengths of 380,879 bp and 67,982 bp, respectively. Seventy-seven genes including 39 protein-coding genes, 34 tRNA genes, 3 rRNA genes, and 1 pseudogene, were identified. About 90.63% of the codons ended with A or U bases, and 98.63% of monomers contained A/T, which contributed to the high A/T content (55.91%) of the complete mt genome. Six genes (ATP8, CCMFC, NAD4, RPL10, RPL5 and RPS4) showed positive selection. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that L. cylindrica is closely related to L. acutangula. The present results provide the mt genome of L. cylindrica, which may facilitate possible genetic variation, evolutionary, and molecular breeding studies of L. cylindrica.

Abstract
Calophyllum soulattri Burm.f. is traditionally used to treat skin infections and reduce rheumatic pain, yet genetic and genomic studies are still limited. Here, we present the first complete mitochondrial genome of C. soulattri. It is 378,262 bp long with 43.97% GC content, containing 55 genes (30 protein-coding, 5 rRNA, and 20 tRNA). Repeat analysis of the mitochondrial genome revealed 194 SSRs, mostly mononucleotides, and 266 pairs of dispersed repeats ( ≥ 30 bp) that were predominantly palindromic. There were 23 homologous fragments found between the mitochondrial and plastome genomes. We also predicted 345 C-to-U RNA editing sites from 30 protein-coding genes (PCGs) of the C. soulatrii mitochondrial genome. These RNA editing events created the start codon of nad1 and the stop codon of ccmFc. Most PCGs of the C. soulattri mitochondrial genome underwent negative selection, but atp4 and ccmB experienced positive selection. Phylogenetic analyses showed C. soulattri is a sister taxon of Garcinia mangostana. This study has shed light on C. soulattri's evolution and Malpighiales' phylogeny. As the first complete mitochondrial genome in Calophyllaceae, it can be used as a reference genome for other medicinal plant species within the family for future genetic studies.

Abstract
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) has been widely exploited for hybrid seed production in onions (Allium cepa L.). In contrast to long-day onion cultivars, short-day onion has not yet been investigated for mitochondrial genome structure and DNA rearrangements associated with CMS activity. Here, we report the 3,16,321 bp complete circular mitochondrial genome of tropical onion CMS line (97A). Due to the substantial number of repetitive regions, the assembled mitochondrial genome of maintainer line (97B) remained linear with 15 scaffolds. Additionally, 13 and 20 chloroplast-derived fragments with a size ranging from 143 to 13,984 bp and 153-17,725 bp were identified in the 97A and 97B genomes, respectively. Genome annotation revealed 24 core protein-coding genes along with 24 and 28 tRNA genes in the mitochondrial genomes of 97A and 97B, respectively. Furthermore, comparative genome analysis of the 97A and 97B mitochondrial genomes showed that gene content was almost similar except for the chimeric ORF725 gene which is the extended form of the COX1 gene.

Assembly and comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Ilex metabaptista (Aquifoliaceae), a Chinese endemic species with a narrow distribution. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2023; 23:393. [PMID: 37580695 PMCID: PMC10424370 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-023-04377-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ilex metabaptista is a woody tree species with strong waterlogging tolerance and is also admired as a landscape plant with high development prospects and scientific research value. Unfortunately, populations of this species have declined due to habitat loss. Thus, it is a great challenge for us to efficiently protect I. metabaptista resources from extinction. Molecular biology research can provide the scientific basis for the conservation of species. However, the study of I. metabaptista genetics is still in its infancy. To date, no mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) in the genus Ilex has been analysed in detail. RESULTS The mitogenome of I. metabaptista was assembled based on the reads from Illumina and Nanopore sequencing platforms; it was a typical circular DNA molecule of 529,560 bp with a GC content of 45.61% and contained 67 genes, including 42 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. Repeat sequence analysis and prediction of RNA editing sites revealed a total of 286 dispersed repeats, 140 simple repeats, 18 tandem repeats, and 543 RNA editing sites. Analysis of codon usage showed that codons ending in A/T were preferred. Gene migration was observed to occur between the mitogenome and chloroplast genome via the detection of homologous fragments. In addition, Ka/Ks analysis revealed that most of the protein-coding genes in the mitogenome had undergone negative selection, and only the ccmB gene had undergone potential positive selection in most asterids. Nucleotide polymorphism analysis revealed the variation in each gene, with atp9 being the most notable. Furthermore, comparative analysis showed that the GC contents were conserved, but the sizes and structure of mitogenomes varied greatly among asterids. Phylogenetic analysis based on the mitogenomes reflected the exact evolutionary and taxonomic status of I. metabaptista. CONCLUSION In this study, we sequenced and annotated the mitogenome of I. metabaptista and compared it with the mitogenomes of other asterids, which provided essential background information for further understanding of the genetics of this plant and helped lay the foundation for future studies on molecular breeding of I. metabaptista.

Abstract
As an important nut crop species, macadamia continues to gain increased amounts of attention worldwide. Nevertheless, with the vast increase in macadamia omic data, it is becoming difficult for researchers to effectively process and utilize the information. In this work, we developed the first integrated germplasm and genomic database for macadamia (MacadamiaGGD), which includes five genomes of four species; three chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes; genome annotations; transcriptomic data for three macadamia varieties, germplasm data for four species and 262 main varieties; nine genetic linkage maps; and 35 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The database serves as a valuable collection of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, including both markers that are based on macadamia genomic sequences and developed in this study and markers developed previously. MacadamiaGGD is also integrated with multiple bioinformatic tools, such as search, JBrowse, BLAST, primer designer, sequence fetch, enrichment analysis, multiple sequence alignment, genome alignment, and gene homology annotation, which allows users to conveniently analyze their data of interest. MacadamiaGGD is freely available online (http://MacadamiaGGD.net). We believe that the database and additional information of the SSR markers can help scientists better understand the genomic sequence information of macadamia and further facilitate molecular breeding efforts of this species.
