Inheritance of Chloroplast and Mitochondrial DNA in Chinese Fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata)

The inheritance of mitochondrial (mt) DNA and chloroplast (cp) DNA was investigated in intergeneric hybrids from crossing between Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook. and Cryptomeria fortunei Hooibrenk. The chloroplast trnL trnF region and one intra genic segment of the mitochondrial gene, Cox Ⅲ, were amplified from those of the parents and hybrids by PCR using gene specific primers. Cp and mtDNA polymorphisms of the amplified regions were detected between the parents after restriction digestions. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis revealed that all the F 1 individuals possessed Cox Ⅲ restriction fragment patterns (characteristic of the paternal parent Cryptomeria fortunei ) and the trnL trnF region (identical to the maternal parent Cunninghamia lanceolata ) showing that a different mode of inheritance for organelle DNA has occurred in the hybrids. Furthermore, the maternal inheritance of chloroplast DNA is reported here for the first time in coniferophyta.

Chloroplast DNA-based genetic variation of Rosa roxburghii in Southwest China:Phylogeography and conservation implications

Rosa roxburghii Tratt.is a well-known commercial horticultural crop in China with nutritional and medicinal value.Wild germplasms of this species are mainly distributed in Southwest China but the population is decreasing due to continuous exploitation,habitat destruction,and fragmentation.Therefore,assessing the genetic diversity and phylogeography is essential for efficient conservation.Herein,two chloroplast intergenic spacers(trnL-trnF and accD-psaI)were investigated in 255 individuals from 29 R.roxburghii populations and 18 haplotypes(H1–H18)were identified.High levels of haplotype diversity(Hd=0.829)and nucleotide diversity(π=1.3×10^(−3))were detected in these populations.Also,the genetic variation representing 86.4%of the total variation was detected by an analysis of molecular variance.A significant correlation was established between genetic divergence and geographic distance by the Mantel test(r=0.204,P=0.04,9999 permutations),suggesting the isolation-by-distance model.A significantly higher Nst than Gst(Nst=0.257,Gst=0.136,P<0.05)indicated the phylogeographic structure of R.roxburghii.Further phylogeographic analysis revealed rapid range expansion in the population,probably between 647073 and 217848 years ago.The primary processes shaping the genetic patterns of the R.roxburghii populations included restricted gene flow with isolation distance within clades 1-8,2-3,and overall,contiguous expansion within clades 1-3 and 3-2,past fragmentation,and/or long-distance colonization within clades 1-9 and 2-2.Conservation priority should be given to the core populations GZ,FQ,DF,DS,xy,AL,LC,PB,and XY in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau,NZ and MX in the Qingling-Bashan mountains,and MN in the Hengduan mountains,where an in situ preservation and management strategy should be applied.

A Simple Method for Isolating Chloroplast DNA and Mitochondria DNA from the Same Rapeseed Green Leaf Tissue

In the study, we present a fast, simple and inexpensive protocol for isolating chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA from one rapeseed leaf tissue sample. The chloroplast and mitochondria were separated from the same green leaf tissue by differential centrifugations. The protocol is the first report that isolates plant chloroplast DNA （cpDNA） and mitochondrial DNA （mtDNA） from the same sample homogenate. The organelle DNA yield is 2-10 micrograms per gram of tissue; the DNA was fully restrictable and was successfully used for sequencing.

Polymorphism and heredity of cpDNA and mtDNA in the Section Leuce of Populus

The chloroplast DNA （cpDNA） and mitochondrial DNA （mtDNA） of 16 Populus species （Section Leuce） and their F1 generation were detected using PCR-RFLP technique. The results show that cpDNA in the F1 generation of 22 hybrid combinations was inherited maternally, which supported the conclusions of the study of plasmid cytology. The mtDNA fragments amplified by PCR were consistent with the restriction maps in all hybrid combinations and no polymorphism was detected, indicating that the Section Leuce is highly conserved in mitochondrial gene sequences. These results provided direct evidence of maternal chloroplast inheritance in Populus tomentosa, P. bolleana, P. davidiana, P. adenopoda, P. tomentosa × P. bolleana, P. alba × P. glandulosa and P. alba × P. tomentosa.

A hybrid swarm population of Pinus densiflora × P. sylvestris inferred from sequence analysis of chloroplast DNA and morphological characters

To confirm a hybrid swarm population of Pinus densiflora × P. sylvestris in Jilin, China, we used needles and seeds from P. densiflora, P. sylvestris, and P. densiflora × P. sylvestris collected from natural stands or experimental stations to study whether shoot apex morphology of 4-year old seedlings can be correlated with the sequence of a chloroplast DNA simple sequence repeat marker （cpDNA SSRs）. Total genomic DNA was extracted and subjected to sequence analysis of the pine cpDNA SSR marker Pt15169. Results show that morphological characters from 4-year old seedlings did not correlate with sequence variants of this marker. Marker haplotypes from all P. sylvestris trees had a CTAT element that was absent from all sampled P. densiflora trees. However, both haplotype classes involving this insertion/deletion element were found in a P. densiflora × P. sylvestris population and its seedling progeny. It was concluded that the P. densiflora × P. sylvestris accessions sampled from Jilin, China resulted from bi-directional crosses, as evidenced by both species’ cpDNA haplotypes within the hybrid swarm population.

Interspecific Hybridization between <i>Arisaema sikokianum</i>and <i>A. serratum</i>(Araceae) Confirmed through Nuclear and Chloroplast DNA Comparisons

A morphologically intermediate plant between Arisaema sikokianum Franch. et Sav. and A. serratum (Thunb.) Schott has been newly found in Kochi Prefecture, Shikoku, Japan. The putative hybrid has the intermediate morphological characteristics of the parental species. Molecular analysis using PCR-RFLP of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) in nuclear DNA (nrDNA) indicates that the putative hybrid has a combined pattern of the two putative parent species. Moreover, the sequence result of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) of the putative hybrid was identical to that of A. sikokianum. These results suggest that the putative hybrid is a hybrid between A. sikokianum and A. serratum and that it was formed by interactive gene exchanging via pollens from A. serratum to A. sikokianum. It is the first record of a hybrid between A. sikokianum and A. serratum.

Identification of <i>Angelica acutiloba</i>and Related Species by Analysis of Inter- and Intra-Specific Sequence Variations in Chloroplast and Nuclear DNA Sequences

Japanese Angelica Root prepared from Angelica acutiloba var. acutiloba and A. acutiloba var. sugiyamae, known in Japan as “Toki” and “Hokkai Toki”, is an important crude drug used in Kampo medicine (traditional Japanese medicine). However, since these Angelica varieties have recently outcrossed with each other, it is unclear whether Japanese Angelica Root sold for use in Kampo medicine is a pure variety. Here, we describe DNA sequence polymorphisms that can be used to distinguish between A. acutiloba var. acutiloba and A. acutiloba var. sugiyamae. In our analyses, differences in the trnK region of chloroplast DNA distinguished among some A. acutiloba varieties and related species, but not between A. acutiloba var. acutiloba and A. acutiloba var. iwatensis. One geographical strain of A. acutiloba var. acutiloba and A. acutiloba var. sugiyamae showed identical sequences in three regions of chloroplast DNA, but differences in the internal transcribed spacer region of nuclear ribosomal DNA. One strain of A. acutiloba var. iwatensis and A. acutiloba var. sugiyamae had identical sequences in all of the chloroplast and nuclear ribosomal DNA regions examined. These findings show that A. acutiloba var. acutiloba has hybridized with A. acutiloba var. sugiyamae and that the “Hokkai Toki” variety resulted from outcrossing with A. acutiloba var. iwatensis. Molecular authentication based on analyses of chloroplast and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences of A. acutiloba and related species is an efficient method to authenticate Japanese Angelica Root at the variety level. Therefore, these analyses can determine whether a product is derived from A. acutiloba var. acutiloba or A. acutiloba var. sugiyamae.

Chloroplast DNA Polymorphism in Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i>L.)

We analyzed the sequence alignment on 25 AA rice and 24 non-AA rice chloroplasts using two length diversity markers (ORF 100 and ORF29-TrnCGCA) and four sequence markers existed in introns of rps16 gene and TrnTUGU-TrnLUAA spacer to explore the chloroplast diversity of different types of rice using PCR amplification and sequencing. Results showed that in terms of the length of ORF100 and ORF29-TrnCGCA, chloroplast DNA (cp DNA) of Hainan ordinary wild rice, Dongxiang ordinary wild rice, Hepu ordinary wild rice and three-line cytoplasmic male sterile wild rice were indica-type, Chaling ordinary wild rice, Fusui ordinary wild rice, Niwara wild rice, Brazilian upland rice and Lemont were japonica-type among in AA genome. Besides, all non-AA wild rice was japonica-type. There were 4 indica-japonica markers utilizing introns of rps16 gene and TrnTUGU-TrnLUAA. We found that all the ordinary wild rice in Chaling and Fusui of AA genome presented as japonica specific sites, while the others owned two indica and japonica specific sites, respectively. There were two indica-japonica sites separately and a 6-base specific fragment in three-line cytoplasmic male sterile materials except Yuetai A, simultaneously, 2-base difference from Hainan wild rice. Moreover, Brazilian upland rice and Lemont were entire japonica specific sites. Result of three markers indicated that the cp DNA of non-AA wild rice was japonica-type and result of one marker showed indica-type. Sequencing results also suggested that wild rice existed many polymorphic base sites, CCDD genome, wart wild rice and malay wild rice had their own specific sites. In conclusion, significant differentiation trend of indica-japonica exhibits in chloroplast of ordinary wild rice, and non-AA wild rice is generally japonica-type. The cytoplasmic polymorphism level of three-line sterile lines is low. It is worth considering whether the cytoplasm of Honglian-type sterile line Yuetai A comes from Hainan ordinary wild rice. Furthermore, genetic polymorphisms in wild rice are far more than in cultivar.

Distribution and Phylogeography of Caryopteris incana (Lamiaceae) Based on Chloroplast DNA Sequences in West Kyushu, Japan

Caryopteris incana is a continental plant, transferred to Japan from continental Asia via a land bridge between the Korean Peninsula and Tsushima Islands during a glacial period. It currently grows wild in West Kyushu, Japan. In a previous study, we investigated the distribution of C. incana in the Tsushima Islands and confirmed the genetic structure of populations by using chloroplast DNA sequence analysis, suggesting that different haplotypes were distributed in the same area. Thus, it seemed that populations of C. incana throughout the Tsushima Islands colonized at different times;each haplotype had remained within its population without mixing. In this study, we conducted fieldwork to construct a detailed distribution map in West Kyushu excluding the Tsushima Islands. Additionally, we confirmed genetic structure of the C. incana population in these areas by using chloroplast DNA sequence analysis to study the intraspecific phylogenetic relationship of C. incana in Japan. We confirmed 37 natural populations in 257 locations throughout West Kyushu excluding the 72 natural populations in the Tsushima Islands. We also confirmed a recent decreasing trend in the number of natural populations in the Nagasaki Mainland. Using the leaves of individuals cultivated from seeds collected from each natural population, we analyzed the chloroplast DNA sequence variations. Among the investigated populations, sequence variations were confirmed in six regions of chloroplast DNA, and those haplotypes were mainly classified into two groups distributed in different areas on the phylogenetic tree. This finding revealed that the common ancestor of C. incana in Japan diverged early into two groups, followed by a fragmentation in population distribution for each area. The haplotype network almost reflected the geographical distribution on haplotypes. However, several haplotypes that were distributed in other areas were confirmed in the Nagasaki Mainland, suggesting a complicated distribution formation in the past.
