Complete Chloroplast Genome of Nicotiana otophora and its Comparison with Related Species

چکیده
Nicotiana otophora is a wild parental species of Nicotiana tabacum, an interspecific hybrid of Nicotiana tomentosiformis and Nicotiana sylvestris. However, N. otophora is least understood as an alternative paternal donor. Here, we compared the fully assembled chloroplast (cp) genome of N. otophora and with those of closely related species. The analysis showed a cp genome size of 156,073 bp and exhibited a typical quadripartite structure, which contains a pair of inverted repeats separated by small and large single copies, containing 163 representative genes, with 165 microsatellites distributed unevenly throughout the genome. Comparative analysis of a gene with known function across Nicotiana species revealed 76 protein-coding sequences, 20 tRNA sequences, and 3 rRNA sequence shared between the cp genomes. The analysis revealed that N. otophora is a sister species to N. tomentosiformis within the Nicotiana genus, and Atropha belladonna and Datura stramonium are their closest relatives. These findings provide a valuable analysis of the complete N. otophora cp genome, which can identify species, elucidate taxonomy, and reconstruct the phylogeny of genus Nicotiana.

Comparative bioinformatics analysis of a wild diploid Gossypium with two cultivated allotetraploid species
Background: Gossypium thurberi is a wild diploid species that has been used to improve cultivated allotetraploid cotton. G. thurberi belongs to D genome, which is an important wild bio-source for the cotton breeding and genetic research. To a certain degree, chloroplast DNA sequence information are a versatile tool for species identification and phylogenetic implications in plants. Different ch...
متن کاملInhibition of chromosome breakage and of megachromosomes by intact genomes in Nicotiana.
T H E genome of Nicotiana otophora contains five large blocks of heterochromatm (HB's), whereas N . tabacum possesses no large HB's but only widely scattered, very small segments of heterochromatin (BURNS 1966). Since the chromosomes of N . otophora (n = 12) pair intimately at meiosis with those of one genome of N . tabacum (n = 24), transfer of HB's from the former species to the latter can be...
متن کاملLoss of Chloroplast trnLUAA Intron in Two Species of Hedysarum (Fabaceae): Evolutionary Implications
Previous studies have indicated that in all land plants examined to date, the chloroplast gene trnLUAA isinterrupted by a single group I intron ranging from 250 to over 1400 bp. The parasitic Epifagus virginiana haslost, however, the entire gene. We report that the intron is missing from the chloroplast genome of twoarctic species of the legume genus Hedysarum (H. alpinum, H. ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Nicotiana otophora as a Source of Resistance to Meloidogyne incognita Race 4 for Tobacco.
No currently available tobacco cultivar possesses resistance to Meloidogyne incognita race 4, nor has any source of resistance been reported within Nicotiana tabacum. The purpose of this study was to evaluate N. otophora acc. La Quinta as a source of resistance to this pathogen. Plants of tobacco cvs. NC 95 and NC 2326, N. otophora La Quinta and N. repanda were inoculated with second-stage juve...

The complete nucleotide sequence of the chloroplast genome of the hardwood species Eucalyptus globulus is presented and compared with chloroplast genomes of tree and non-tree angiosperms and two softwood tree species. The 160,286 bp genome is similar in gene order to that of Nicotiana, with an inverted repeat (IR) (26,393 bp) separated by a large single copy (LSC) region of 89,012 bp and a smal...
