Abstract
Abstract
Background
Dicranostigma leptopodum (Maxim.) Fedde is a perennial herb with bright yellow flowers, well known as "Hongmao Cao" for its medicinal properties, and is an excellent early spring flower used in urban greening. However, its molecular genomic information remains largely unknown. Here, we sequenced and analyzed the chloroplast genome of D. leptopodum to discover its genome structure, organization, and phylogenomic position within the subfamily Papaveroideae.
Results
The chloroplast genome size of D. leptopodum was 162,942 bp, and D. leptopodum exhibited a characteristic circular quadripartite structure, with a large single-copy (LSC) region (87,565 bp), a small single-copy (SSC) region (18,759 bp) and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (28,309 bp). The D. leptopodum chloroplast genome encoded 113 genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The dynamics of the genome structures, genes, IR contraction and expansion, long repeats, and single sequence repeats exhibited similarities, with slight differences observed among the eight Papaveroideae species. In addition, seven interspace regions and three coding genes displayed highly variable divergence, signifying their potential to serve as molecular markers for phylogenetic and species identification studies. Molecular evolution analyses indicated that most of the genes were undergoing purifying selection. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that D. leptopodum formed a clade with the tribe Chelidonieae.
Conclusions
Our study provides detailed information on the D. leptopodum chloroplast genome, expanding the available genomic resources that may be used for future evolution and genetic diversity studies.
