[PMID: 39640867 PMCID: PMC11619021 DOI: 10.1080/23802359.2024.2435901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2024] [Accepted: 11/25/2024] [Indexed: 12/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Melothria scabra has gradually become an economically important plant worldwide. The complete chloroplast genome of M. scabra has a length of 156,744 bp, contains a large single-copy (LSC) region (86,387 bp), a small single-copy (SSC) region (18,055 bp), and two inverted repeats (IRs) with the same length of 26,151 bp. In total, 126 genes were detected, including 83 protein-encoding genes, 35 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. For phylogenetic analysis, M. scabra has a closer genetic relationship with Cucumis sativus and Citrullus lanatus. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of M. scabra would promote the germplasm exploration, phylogenetic relationships, and molecular biology researches in Melothria.

COMPARATIVE CYTOGENETICS 2023; 17:129-156. [PMID: 37304149 PMCID: PMC10252142 DOI: 10.3897/compcytogen.17.98903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The genus Allium Linnaeus, 1753 (tribe Allieae) contains about 800 species worldwide of which almost 38 species are reported in India, including the globally important crops (onion, garlic, leek, shallot) and many wild species. A satisfactory chromosomal catalogue of Allium species is missing which has been considered in the review for the species occurring in India. The most prominent base number is x=8, with few records of x=7, 10, 11. The genome size has sufficient clues for divergence, ranging from 7.8 pg/1C to 30.0 pg/1C in diploid and 15.16 pg/1C to 41.78 pg/1C in polyploid species. Although the karyotypes are seemingly dominated by metacentrics, substantial variation in nucleolus organizing regions (NORs) is noteworthy. The chromosomal rearrangement between A.cepa Linnaeus, 1753 and its allied species has paved way to appreciate genomic evolution within Allium. The presence of a unique telomere sequence and its conservation in Allium sets this genus apart from all other Amaryllids and supports monophyletic origin. Any cytogenetic investigation regarding NOR variability, telomere sequence and genome size in the Indian species becomes the most promising field to decipher chromosome evolution against the background of species diversity and evolution, especially in the Indian subcontinent.
