摘要
Solanaceae,the nightshade family,have2700 species,including the important crops potato and tomato,ornamentals,and medicinal plants.Several sequenced Solanaceae genomes show evidence for wholegenome duplication(WGD),providing an excellent opportunity to investigate WGD and its impacts.Here,we generated 93 transcriptomes/genomes and combined them with 87 public datasets,for a total of 180 Solanaceae species representing all four subfamilies and 14 of 15 tribes.Nearly 1700 nuclear genes from these transcriptomic/genomic datasets were used to reconstruct a highly resolved Solanaceae phylogenetic tree with six major clades.The Solanaceae tree supports four previously recognized subfamilies(Goetzeioideae,Cestroideae,Nicotianoideae,and Solanoideae)and the designation of three other subfamilies(Schizanthoideae,Schwenckioideae,and Petunioideae),with the placement of several previously unassigned genera.We placed a Solanaceae-specific whole-genome triplication(WGT1)at81 million years ago(mya),before the divergence of Schizanthoideae from other Solanaceae subfamilies at73 mya.In addition,we detected two gene duplication bursts(GDBs)supporting proposed WGD events and four other GDBs.An investigation of the evolutionary histories of homologs of carpel and fruit developmental genes in 14 gene(sub)families revealed that 21 gene clades have retained gene duplicates.These were likely generated by the Solanaceae WGT1 and may have promoted fleshy fruit development.This study presents a well-resolved Solanaceae phylogeny and a new perspective on retained gene duplicates and carpel/fruit development,providing an improved understanding of Solanaceae evolution.
