Received 1 July 2015; Accepted 27 August 2015; Article first published online 1 September 2015 Abstract Studies on chloroplast genomes of ferns and lycophytes are relatively few in comparison with those on seed plants. Although a basic phylogenetic framework of extant ferns is available, relationships among a few key nodes remain unresolved or poorly supported. The primary objective of this study is to explore the phylogenetic utility of large chloroplast gene data in resolving difficult deep nodes in ferns. We sequenced the chloroplast genomes from Cyrtomium devexiscapulae (Koidz.) Ching (eupolypod I) and Woodwardia unigemmata (Makino) Nakai (eupolypod II), and constructed the phylogeny of ferns based on both 48 genes and 64 genes. The trees based on 48 genes and 64 genes are identical in topology, differing only in support values for four nodes, three of which showed higher support values for the 48-gene dataset. Equisetum L. was resolved as the sister to the Psilotales–Ophioglossales clade, and Equisetales–Psilotales–Ophioglossales clade was sister to the clade of the leptosporangiate and marattioid ferns. The sister relationship between the tree fern clade and polypods was supported by 82% and 100% bootstrap values in the 64-gene and 48-gene trees, respectively. Within polypod ferns, Pteridaceae was sister to the clade of Dennstaedtiaceae and eupolypods with a high support value, and the relationship of Dennstaedtiaceae–eupolypods was strongly supported. With recent parallel advances in the phylogenetics of ferns using nuclear data, chloroplast phylogenomics shows great potential in providing a framework for testing the impact of reticulate evolution in the early evolution of ferns. Key words: chloroplast genome, chloroplast phylogenomics, ferns, phylogenetics, polypods. The plant chloroplast genome (or plastome) is of a moderate 1998; Wolf et al., 2003; Roper et al., 2007; Gao et al., 2009). size and can be easily sequenced. In general, there is good co- With the advent of next-generation sequencing, 15 complete linearity among chloroplast genomes of different plant taxa, chloroplast genomes have been sequenced since 2011 (Table 1; facilitating comparative analyses (Jansen et al., 2007).

Moreover, five partial chloroplast genomes were and thus can provide a large degree of genetic variation for recently submitted to GenBank, and these included: Ceratop- comparative phylogenetic studies at different taxonomic teris richardii Brongn. (KM052729), Cystopteris protrusa ranks (Clegg et al., 1994). These advantages have allowed the (Weath.)

C. Eaton (KP136832). Gao et al., 2010). The chloroplast genome size is generally approximately Previously, studies on whole chloroplast genomes of ferns 131–168 kb in ferns (Grewe et al., 2013; Zhong et al., 2014; and lycophytes have been relatively few in comparison with Table 1), and the genome size variation is mostly due to length those on seed plants and those studies largely focused on variation in the inverted repeat (IR) and the small single copy chloroplast genome sequencing of a single species (Wakasugi (SSC) section (Grewe et al., 2013). Although the number of et al., 1998; Wolf et al., 2003; Roper et al., 2007; Tsuji et al., genes (117–124 coding genes) and gene order are relatively 2007). However, as of June 2015, the National Center for conserved in chloroplast genomes of ferns, there are some Biotechnology Information’s database included 26 chloroplast differences among taxa (Table 1).
