  • Comparative Analysis and Implications of the Chloroplast Genomes of Three Thistles (Carduus L., Asteraceae)
    Comparative analysis and implications of the chloroplast genomes of three thistles (Carduus L., Asteraceae) Joonhyung Jung1,*, Hoang Dang Khoa Do1,2,*, JongYoung Hyun1, Changkyun Kim1 and Joo-Hwan Kim1 1 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi, Korea 2 Nguyen Tat Thanh Hi-Tech Institute, Nguyen Tat Thanh University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT Background. Carduus, commonly known as plumeless thistles, is a genus in the Asteraceae family that exhibits both medicinal value and invasive tendencies. However, the genomic data of Carduus (i.e., complete chloroplast genomes) have not been sequenced. Methods. We sequenced and assembled the chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequences of three Carduus species using the Illumina Miseq sequencing system and Geneious Prime. Phylogenetic relationships between Carduus and related taxa were reconstructed using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference analyses. In addition, we used a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the protein coding region of the matK gene to develop molecular markers to distinguish C. crispus from C. acanthoides and C. tenuiflorus. Results. The cpDNA sequences of C. crispus, C. acanthoides, and C. tenuiflorus ranged from 152,342 bp to 152,617 bp in length. Comparative genomic analysis revealed high conservation in terms of gene content (including 80 protein-coding, 30 tRNA, and four rRNA genes) and gene order within the three focal species and members of subfamily Carduoideae. Despite their high similarity, the three species differed with respect to the number and content of repeats in the chloroplast genome. Additionally, eight Submitted 28 February 2020 hotspot regions, including psbI-trnS_GCU, trnE_UUC-rpoB, trnR_UCU-trnG_UCC, Accepted 11 December 2020 Published 14 January 2021 psbC-trnS_UGA, trnT_UGU-trnL_UAA, psbT-psbN, petD-rpoA, and rpl16-rps3, were identified in the study species.

  • Botanist Interior 38.3
    38 THE MICHIGAN BOTANIST Vol. 38 NOTEWORTHY COLLECTIONS MINNESOTA DIGITALIS GRANDIFLORA Miller (Scrophulariaceae). Yellow Foxglove. Previous knowledge. Digitalis grandiflora is a biennial or perennial native to Eurasia, where it grows in woods (Tutin et al. 1972). In eastern North America, D. grandiflora occasionally escapes from cultivation (Magee & Ahles 1999). D. grandiflora has been reported outside of cultivation from Baraga and Houghton Counties in upper Michigan (Voss 1996). We are not aware of other collections from the upper Great Lakes. Significance. A population of D. grandiflora was found in Duluth, Minnesota, apparently the first escape of this species in the state. The plants were on a steep, open northeast-facing bank about 1 km from Lake Superior. This is a residential neighborhood, in which the population’s founders may have been cultivated. The species was absent from a similar bank across the avenue, suggesting that spread by seed is weak. The plants had large rhizomes bearing numerous scars from flowering stems, and have been observed flowering vigorously every year since their discovery. We infer that D. grandiflora behaves as a perennial in this envi- ronment, allowing it to persist and spread locally even if reproduction by seed is ineffective. This species contains some of the same cardiac glycosides as D. lanata Ehrh. and D. purpurea L. (Hollman 1985), suggesting that caution be taken to prevent skin contact or ingestion by humans, livestock, or pets. MINNESOTA. ST.

  • Advances in Tissue Culture, Genetics and Transgenic Biotechnology
    African Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 2 (12), pp. 547-556, December 2003 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJB ISSN 1684–5315 © 2003 Academic Journals Review Anthemideae: advances in tissue culture, genetics and transgenic biotechnology Jaime A. Teixeira da Silva Faculty of Agriculture, Kagawa University, Miki-cho, Ikenobe, 2393, Kagawa-ken, 761-0795, Japan. Telfax: +81 (0)72 726 8178. E-mail: [email protected]. Accepted 2 December 2003 Members of the Anthemideae include important floricultural (cut-flower) and ornamental (pot and garden) crops, as well as plants of medicinal and ethno-pharmacological interest. Despite the use of many of these plants (over 1400 species) in the extraction of important secondary metabolites and essential oils, the greatest emphasis has been on their in vitro tissue culture and micropropagation. Few studies have been conducted on genetic transformation, with those primarily focused on increasing yield of compounds in plants. This review, the first and only available for plants within this Family, highlights all the available literature that exists on Anthemideae (excluding ornamental chrysanthemums) in vitro cell, tissue and organ culture, micropropagation and transformation. Key words: Achillea, Anthemis, Artemisia, Matricaria, Santolina, Tanacetum. INTRODUCTION Members of the Anthemideae top over 1400 species (the discussed elsewhere (Teixeira da Silva, 2003). Garland most common known by different names globally, Table chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum coronarium and C. 1) and consist of one of the most important global cut segetum are widely distributed in the Mediterranean, flower and pot plants, Dendranthema grandiflora, as well western Africa and Asia. C. coronarium, cultivated in as important medicinal and aromatic plants from which Japan, China and Southeast Asia, is closely related to many important secondary metabolites and essential oils lettuce, and is a valuable edible species (Oka et al., are extracted.
