Besides their use in the worldwide production of 30 tobacco leaves, they are also used as evolutionary model systems due to their complex 31 development history, which is tangled by polyploidy and hybridization. Here, we assembled the 32 plastid genomes of five tobacco species, namely N. knightiana, N. rustica, N. paniculata, N. 33 obtusifolia and N. glauca. De novo assembled tobacco plastid genomes showed typical 34 quadripartite structure, consisting of a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions (25,323–25,369 bp 35 each) separated by a large single copy (LSC) region (86,510 –86,716 bp) and a small single copy 36 (SSC) region (18,441–18,555 bp). Comparative analyses of Nicotiana plastid genomes showed 37 similar GC content, gene content, codon usage, simple sequence repeats, oligonucleotide repeats, 38 RNA editing sites and substitutions with currently available Solanaceae genomes sequences. We 39 identified twenty highly polymorphic regions mostly belonging to intergenic spacer regions 40 (IGS), which could be appropriate for the development of robust and cost-effective markers to 41 infer the phylogeny of genus Nicotiana and family Solanaceae. Our comparative plastid genome 42 analysis revealed that the maternal parent of the tetraploid N. rustica was the common ancestor 43 of N. paniculata and N. knightiana, and the later species is more closely related to N. rustica. 44 The relaxed molecular clock analyses estimated that the speciation event between N. rustica and 45 N. knightiana appeared 0.56 Ma (HPD 0.65–0.46). The biogeographical analysis showed a 46 south-to-north range expansion and diversification for N. rustica and related species, where N. 47 undulata and N. paniculata evolved in North/Central Peru, while N. rustica developed in 48 Southern Peru and separated from N. knightiana, which adapted to the Southern coastal climatic 49 regimes. We further inspected selective pressure on protein-coding genes among tobacco species 50 to determine if this adaptation process affected the evolution of plastid genes. These analyses 51 indicated that four genes involved in different plastid functions, such as DNA replication (rpoA) 52 and photosynthesis (atpB, ndhD and ndhF), came under positive selective pressure as a result of 53 specific environmental conditions. Genetic mutations of the following genes might have 54 contributed to the survival and better adaptation during the evolutionary history of tobacco 55 species. 56 Key words: Nicotiana, Chloroplast genome, Substitution and InDels, Mutational hotspots, 57 substitutions, positive selection. 2 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.01.13.905158; this version posted January 14, 2020.

Introduction 60 The plant family Solanaceae consists of 98 genera and ~ 2700 species (Olmstead et al., 2008; 61 Olmstead & Bohs, 2007). This megadiverse family consists of herbaceous annual species to 62 perennial trees with a natural distribution ranging from deserts to rainforests (Knapp et al., 63 2004). Nicotiana L. is the fifth largest genus in the family, comprising 76 species, which were 64 subdivided into three subgenera and fourteen sections by Goodspeed (1954). The subgenera of 65 Nicotiana, as proposed by Goodspeed (1954), were not monophyletic (Aoki & Ito, 2000; Chase 66 et al., 2003), but most of Goodspeed's sections were natural groups. The formal classification of 67 the genus has been refined to reflect the growing body of evidence on Nicotiana, consisting of 68 thirteen sections (Knapp, Chase & Clarkson, 2004). Most Nicotiana species are diploid (2n = 2x 69 = 24) while allopolyploid species are also reported (Leitch et al., 2008). Phylogenetic studies 70 have shown that these allopolyploids were formed 0.2 million (N. rustica L. and N. tabacum L.) 71 to more than 10 million years ago (species of sect. Suaveolentes) (Clarkson et al., 2004; Leitch et 72 al., 2008). Cultivated tobacco (N. tabacum L.), commonly grown for its leaves and an important 73 economic and agricultural crop around the world (Occhialini et al., 2016), is a natural 74 amphiploidy derived from two progenitors (Smith 1974). Nicotiana species, especially N. 75 tabacum, are also used as model organisms in plant sciences and genetics (Zhang et al., 2011). 76 The first complete chloroplast genome sequence was also published for this species (Shinozaki et 77 al., 1986). Since the publication of this sequence, the structure and composition of chloroplast 78 genomes has become widely utilized in identifying unique genetic changes and the evolutionary 79 relationships of various groups of plants, while plastid genes have also been linked with 80 important crop traits such as yield and resistance to various pest and pathogens (Jin & Daniell, 81 2015). Chloroplasts (cp) are large double membrane organelles with a genome size of 75-250 kb 82 (Palmer, 1985). Proteins are used not only for photosynthesis but also for the synthesis of fatty 83 acids and amino acids (Cooper, 2000). Angiosperm plastomes commonly contain ~130 genes 84 with up to 80 protein-coding, 30 transfer RNA (tRNA), and four ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes 85 (Daniell et al., 2016). The plastid genome exists in circular and linear forms (Oldenburg & 86 Bendich, 2015) and the percentage of each form varies within plant cells (Oldenburg & Bendich, 87 2016). Circular formed plastomes have a typical quadripartite structure, with two inverted repeat 88 regions (IRa and IRb), separated by one large single-copy (LSC) and one small single-copy 3 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.01.13.905158; this version posted January 14, 2020.

The plastid genome of angiosperms 93 have a uniparental maternal inheritance (Daniell, 2007) but paternal inheritance has been 94 recorded in a few gymnosperm species (Neale & Sederoff, 1989). The conserved organization of 95 the plastid genome makes it extremely useful in exploring the phylogenetic relationships at 96 various taxonomic levels (Ravi et al., 2008). Polymorphism in the chloroplast genome has been 97 exploited to solve taxonomic issues, infer phylogeny and to investigate species adaptation to 98 their natural habitats (Daniell et al., 2016). Genes in the plastid genome encode proteins and 99 several types of RNA molecules, which play a vital role in functional plant metabolism, and can 100 consequently undergo selective pressures. Most plastid protein-coding genes are under purifying 101 selection to maintain their function, while positive selection might act on some genes in response 102 to environmental changes. Complete plastid genome sequences are also useful tools in 103 population genetics (Ahmad, 2014), species barcoding (Nguyen et al., 2017) transplastomic 104 (Waheed et al., 2011, 2015) and conservation of endangered species (Wambugu et al., 2015). 105 Here, we assembled the plastid genome of five Nicotiana species and compared their sequences 106 to gain insight into the chloroplast genome structure of the genus Nicotiana. We also inferred the 107 phylogenetic relationship of genus Nicotiana and investigated the selection pressures acting on 108 protein-coding genes, then identified mutational hotspots in

In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution “Doing science is very romantic… when it works!” (the friend of a friend of mine) 2 Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a distinct class of short endogenous RNAs with central roles in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression that make them essential for the development and normal physiology of several groups of eukaryotes, including plants. In the last 15 years, hundreds of miRNA species have been identified in plants and great advances have been achieved in the understanding of plant miRNA biogenesis and mode of action. However, many miRNAs, generally those with less conventional features, still remain to be discovered. Likewise, further layers that regulate the pathway from miRNA biogenesis to function and turnover are starting to be revealed. In the present work we have studied the tomato miRNA “top14”, a miRNA with a non-canonical pri-miRNA structure in which an intron is in between miRNA and miRNA*. We have found that this miRNA is conserved within the economically important Solanaceae family and among other members of the Solanales order also agriculturally relevant, like in sweet potato, while its peculiar intron-split pri-miRNA structure is exclusively kept in the more closely related genera Solanum , Capsicum and Nicotiana .

  • Comparative Analysis and Phylogenetic Investigation of Hong
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Comparative analysis and phylogenetic investigation of Hong Kong Ilex chloroplast genomes Bobby Lim‑Ho Kong1,3, Hyun‑Seung Park2, Tai‑Wai David Lau1,3, Zhixiu Lin4, Tae‑Jin Yang2 & Pang‑Chui Shaw1,3* Ilex is a monogeneric plant group (containing approximately 600 species) in the Aquifoliaceae family and one of the most commonly used medicinal herbs. However, its taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships at the species level are debatable. Herein, we obtained the complete chloroplast genomes of all 19 Ilex types that are native to Hong Kong. The genomes are conserved in structure, gene content and arrangement. The chloroplast genomes range in size from 157,119 bp in Ilex gracilifora to 158,020 bp in Ilex kwangtungensis. All these genomes contain 125 genes, of which 88 are protein‑coding and 37 are tRNA genes. Four highly varied sequences (rps16-trnQ, rpl32-trnL, ndhD-psaC and ycf1) were found. The number of repeats in the Ilex genomes is mostly conserved, but the number of repeating motifs varies. The phylogenetic relationship among the 19 Ilex genomes, together with eight other available genomes in other studies, was investigated. Most of the species could be correctly assigned to the section or even series level, consistent with previous taxonomy, except Ilex rotunda var. microcarpa, Ilex asprella var. tapuensis and Ilex chapaensis. These species were reclassifed; I. rotunda was placed in the section Micrococca, while the other two were grouped with the section Pseudoaquifolium. These studies provide a better understanding of Ilex phylogeny and refne its classifcation. Ilex, a monogeneric plant group in the family Aquifoliaceae, is a widespread genus.

  • Transgressive Phenotypes and Generalist Pollination in the Floral Evolution of Nicotiana Polyploids

McCarthy1,2,3†,MarkW.Chase2, Sandra Knapp3,AmyLitt4, Andrew R. Leitch1 and Steven C. Le Comber1* Polyploidy is an important driving force in angiosperm evolution, and much research has focused on genetic, epigenetic and transcriptomic responses to allopolyploidy. Nicotiana is an excellent system in which to study allopolyploidy because half of the species are allotetraploids of different ages, allowing us to examine the trajectory of floral evolution over time. Here, we study the effects of allopolyploidy on floral morphology in Nicotiana, using corolla tube measurements and geometric morphometrics to quantify petal shape. We show that polyploid morphological divergence from the intermediate phenotype expected (based on progenitor morphology) increases with time for floral limb shape and tube length, and that most polyploids are distinct or transgressive in at least one trait. In addition, we show that polyploids tend to evolve shorter and wider corolla tubes, suggesting that allopolyploidy could provide an escape from specialist pollination via reversion to more generalist pollination strategies. 1 olyploidy, or whole genome duplication (WGD), is an impor- transgressively larger14.

Our second product line is a range of auto-luminescent plants in Nicotiana tabacum, Petunia x hybrida and Arabidopsis thaliana. These have been genetically engineered to naturally and continuously emit a dim glow. This letter includes confidential business information and so as per APHIS instructions I've included an attachment with the confidential information marked as deleted. Because Nicotiana tabacum, Petunia x hybrida and Arabidopsis thaliana are not plant pests or invasive species, the genetic elements introduced are all sourced from fully classified organisms, and the transformation process does not introduce any plant pest DNA components, there is no valid basis for concluding that our transgenic plants are or will become a plant pest within the meaning of the Plant Protection Act (PP A). Therefore under current regulations, our auto­ luminescent plants are not a regulated article within the meaning of 7 C.F.R § 340.1 because there is no scientifically valid basis that it satisfies any of the regulatory criteria that would subject it to the oversight of the USDA's Animal Plant Health and Inspection Service (APHIS). We kindly request that APHIS confirm that our auto-luminescent plants are not considered a regulated article within the meaning of the current regulations.

Here, we use a modelling approach to evaluate the phylogenetic conservatism; hypothesis that nectar sucrose proportion (NSP) is an adaptation to pollina- phylogenetic constraint; tors. We analyse ~ 2100 species of asterids, spanning several plant families pollination syndrome; and pollinator groups (PGs), and show that the hypothesis of adaptation sucrose. cannot be rejected: NSP evolves towards two optimal values, high NSP for specialist-pollinated and low NSP for generalist-pollinated plants. However, the inferred adaptive process is weak, suggesting that adaptation to PG only provides a partial explanation for how nectar evolves. Additional factors are therefore needed to fully explain nectar evolution, and we suggest that future studies might incorporate floral shape and size and the abiotic envi- ronment into the analytical framework.
