Abstract:

To explore the structure, function and evolutionary characteristics of chloroplast genome of Polygonum plants, the software of CodonW, SPSS and online programs Galaxy, Genepioneer Bioinformatics Cloud, mVISTA, GENE DENOVO and other tools were used to analyze the codon usage preferences and phylogenetic relationships of the chloroplast genomes of 28 Polygonum plants. The results showed that the codon adaptation index (CAI) and effective number of codon (ENC) in chloroplast genomes of 28 species of Polygonum plants were low, which indicated weak codon usage preference and being mainly influenced by natural selection. The third base of codon mainly ended in A/U, and 9 optimal codons of chloroplast genome all ended in A/U. The correlation analysis between the GC content at different positions of codon, ENC and GC3s, GC3, GC2 revealed that codon preference in chloroplast genome of Polygonum was weak and mainly influenced by the third base composition, while the length of the chloroplast gene sequence had less influence on base composition and codon preference. The phylogenetic tree based on the relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) was consist with those besed on matk and rbcl gene sequences, 28 species of Polygonum plants were classified into 3 groups, but there were differences in each group, such as P. maackiana was same group with P. tinctoria in phylogenetic tree based on matk gene, while was same group with P. posumbu in phylogenetic tree based on rbcl gene. Above results provided a reference for the utilization, phylogeny, and chloroplast genetic engineering of Polygonum plants.

Key words: Polygonum genus, chloroplast genome, codon preference, comparative features, phylogeny

摘要:

为探究蓼属植物叶绿体基因组的结构、功能和进化特征,利用CodonW、SPSS软件和在线程序Galaxy、Genepioneer生信云、mVISTA、GENE DENOVO等工具,对28种蓼属植物叶绿体基因组的密码子使用偏好性和系统发育关系进行分析。结果表明,28种蓼属植物叶绿体基因组的密码子适应指数(codon adaptation index,CAI)和有效密码子数(effective number of codon,ENC)均较低,说明其密码子使用偏好性较弱,且主要受自然选择影响;密码子第3位碱基以A/U结尾为主,且叶绿体基因组的9个最优密码子均以A/U结尾;密码子不同位置的GC含量和ENC与密码子GC3s、GC3、GC2之间的相关性分析揭示,蓼属植物叶绿体基因组的密码子偏好性弱,且密码子偏好性主要受第3位碱基组成的影响,叶绿体基因序列长度对碱基组成和密码子偏好性影响较小;基于同义密码子相对使用度(relative synonymous codon usage,RSCU)的系统发育树与基于matkrbcl基因序列的系统发育树结果相似,28种蓼属植物均被划分为3个类群,但内部存在部分差异,如长戟叶蓼基于matk序列时与蓼蓝聚为一个类群,而基于rbcl序列时与丛枝蓼聚为一个类群。以上研究结果为蓼属植物的资源利用、系统发育和叶绿体基因工程研究提供了参考和依据。
