Infrageneric relationships of Korean Viola based on eight chloroplast markers.

Ki-Oug Yoo; Su-Kil Jang

Abstract  Phylogeny and infrageneric relationships were reconstructed for Korean Viola (Violaceae) using eight chloroplast sequences: the atpB‐rbcL intergenic spacer, the atpF‐H intergenic spacer, the matK gene, the psbA‐trnH intergenic spacer, the psbK‐I intergenic spacer, the rpl16 intron, the rpoC1 exon 2, and the trnL‐trnF regions. The combined analyses of the eight chloroplast regions suggest that sections Dischidium and Chamaemelanium are monophyletic, whereas section Nomimium is paraphyletic; sections Dischidium and Chamaemelanium form a clade with subsections Hypocarpae and Trigonocarpae of section Nomimium, but unresolved within the clade; two subsections (subsects. Bilobatae and Vaginatae) of section Nomimium form a clade and are placed between the stem and stemless species group; and subsection Patellares of section Nomimium is monophyletic, and Viola dissecta is diverged first in the clade with high support (BS = 100, PP = 100). Our present results support the subsectional grouping based on morphological characteristics, although discordance remained at the series level.

The Chenopodium genus comprises ~150 species, including Chenopodium quinoa and Chenopodium album, two important crops with high nutritional value. To elucidate the phylogenetic relationship between the two species, the complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of these species were obtained by next generation sequencing. We performed comparative analysis of the sequences and, using InDel markers, inferred phylogeny and genetic diversity of the Chenopodium genus. The cp genome is 152,099 bp (C. quinoa) and 152,167 bp (C. album) long. In total, 119 genes (78 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and 4 rRNA) were identified. We found 14 (C. quinoa) and 15 (C. album) tandem repeats (TRs); 14 TRs were present in both species and C. album and C. quinoa each had one species-specific TR. The trnI-GAU intron sequences contained one (C. quinoa) or two (C. album) copies of TRs (66 bp); the InDel marker was designed based on the copy number variation in TRs. Using the InDel markers, we detected this variation in the TR copy number in four species, Chenopodium hybridum, Chenopodium pumilio, Chenopodium ficifolium, and Chenopodium koraiense, but not in Chenopodium glaucum. A comparison of coding and non-coding regions between C. quinoa and C. album revealed divergent sites. Nucleotide diversity >0.025 was found in 17 regions—14 were located in the large single copy region (LSC), one in the inverted repeats, and two in the small single copy region (SSC). A phylogenetic analysis based on 59 protein-coding genes from 25 taxa resolved Chenopodioideae monophyletic and sister to Betoideae. The complete plastid genome sequences and molecular markers based on divergence hotspot regions in the two Chenopodium taxa will help to resolve the phylogenetic relationships of Chenopodium.

Kyung-Ah Kim; Kyeong-Sik Cheon; Su-Kil Jang; Ki-Oug Yoo

Abstract The complete chloroplast genome of Adenophora remotiflora was determined in this study. The total genome size was 171 724 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeats of 27 437 bp, which were separated by large single copy and small single copy of 105 555 bp and 11 295 bp, respectively. The overall GC contents of the plastid genome were 38.8%. One hundred and twelve unique genes were annotated, including 78 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. In these genes, 15 genes contained one intron and 2 genes had two introns. A phylogenetic tree showed that Adenophora remotiflora was closely related to Hanabusaya asiatica.

The overall GC contents of the plastid genome were 38.8%. One hundred and twelve unique genes were annotated, including 78 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. In these genes, 17 genes contained 1 intron, and 2 genes comprised of 2 introns.

The overall GC contents of the plastid genome were 38.8%. 131 genes were annotated, including 87 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. In these genes, 17 genes contained one or two introns.

Phylogeny of Hanabusaya (Campanulaceae), a Korean endemic, based on ITS sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA

Kyeong-Sik Cheon; Ki-Oug Yoo

The phylogenetic position of the genus Hanabusaya was verified using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences data of 181 individuals of 176 taxa in Campanulaceae, including allied genera such as genus Campanula, Adenophora, Symphyandra, and Zeugandra. The phylogenetic analysis showed that Hanabusaya is more closely allied to Adenophora than to Symphyandra, Zeugandra, and Campanula. Accordingly, the connate anthers of Hanabusaya are considered to have evolved independently of Symphyandra or Zeugandra. However, Hanabusaya and sect. Remotiflorae of Adenophora were unresolved within a clade. Therefore, the relationship between Hanabusaya and its allies should be more accurately determined through a broader study on diverse genetic regions.

The complete chloroplast genome sequences of three Adenophora species and comparative analysis with Campanuloid species (Campanulaceae)

Kyeong-Sik Cheon; Kyung-Ah Kim; Ki-Oug Yoo

We report the complete chloroplast genomes of three Adenophora species, and analyzed these compared them to five published Campanuloid plastomes. The total genome length of Adenophora divaricata, Adenophora erecta, and Adenophora stricta ranged from 159,759 to 176,331 bp. Among the eight Campanuloid species, many inversions were found to be only in the LSC region. IR contraction was also identified in the plastid genome of Adenophora stricta. Phylogenetic analyses based on 76 protein coding genes showed that Campanuloids are monophyletic, and are composed of two major groups: Campanula s. str. and Rapunculus. When we compared each homologous locus among the four Adenophora species, ten regions showed high nucleotide divergence value (>0.03). Among these, nine loci, excepting ycf3-rpoB, are considered to be useful molecular markers for phylogenetic studies and will be helpful to resolve phylogenetic relationships of Adenophora.

Cyclotide Evolution: Insights from the Analyses of Their Precursor Sequences, Structures and Distribution in Violets (Viola)

Cyclotides are a family of plant proteins that are characterized by a cyclic backbone and a knotted disulfide topology. Their cyclic cystine knot (CCK) motif makes them exceptionally resistant to thermal, chemical, and enzymatic degradation. By disrupting cell membranes, the cyclotides function as host defense peptides by exhibiting insecticidal, anthelmintic, antifouling, and molluscicidal activities. In this work, we provide the first insight into the evolution of this family of plant proteins by studying the Violaceae, in particular species of the genus Viola. We discovered 157 novel precursor sequences by the transcriptomic analysis of six Viola species: V. albida var. takahashii, V. mandshurica, V. orientalis, V. verecunda, V. acuminata, and V. canadensis. By combining these precursor sequences with the phylogenetic classification of Viola, we infer the distribution of cyclotides across 63% of the species in the genus (i.e., ~380 species). Using full precursor sequences from transcriptomes, we show an evolutionary link to the structural diversity of the cyclotides, and further classify the cyclotides by sequence signatures from the non-cyclotide domain. Also, transcriptomes were compared to cyclotide expression on a peptide level determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Furthermore, the novel cyclotides discovered were associated with the emergence of new biological functions.

Kyeong-Sik Cheon; Kyung-Ah Kim; Ki-Oug Yoo

Abstract The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Berchemia berchemiifolia, rare plant to Korea, was determined in this study. The total genome size was 160,410 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,514 bp, which were separated by a large single copy (LSC) and small single copy (SSC) of 88,627 bp and 18,755 bp, respectively. The overall GC contents of the chloroplast genome were 37.2%. One hundred twenty nine genes were annotated, including 84 protein coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. In these genes, 18 genes contained one or two introns. The phylogenetic tree showed that Berchemia berchemiifolia was most closely related to Berchemiella wilsonii.
