Chloroplast genomes of Eriobotrya elliptica and an unknown wild loquat “YN-1”
View through CrossRef
AbstractThe chloroplast genomes of wild loquat can help to determine their place in the history of evolution. Here, we sequenced and assembled two novel wild loquat’s chloroplast genomes, one is Eriobotrya elliptica, and the other is an unidentified wild loquat, which we named “YN-1”. Their sizes are 159,471 bp and 159,399 bp, respectively. We also assembled a cultivated loquat named ‘JFZ’, its chloroplast genome size is 159,156 bp. A comparative study was conducted with six distinct species of loquats, including five wild loquats and one cultivated loquat. The results showed that both E. elliptica and “YN-1” have 127 genes, one gene more than E. fragrans, which is psbK. Regions trnF-GAA-ndhJ, petG-trnP-UGG, and rpl32-trnL-UAG were found to exhibit high variability. It was discovered that there was a positive selection on rpl22 and rps12. RNA editing analysis found several chilling stress-specific RNA editing sites, especially in rpl2 gene. Phylogenetic analysis results showed that “YN-1” is closely related to E. elliptica, E. obovata and E. henryi.
