Abstract

:
Peanut is an important oilseed and a widely cultivated crop worldwide. Knowledge of the phylogenetic relationships and information on the chloroplast genomes of wild and cultivated peanuts is crucial for the evolution of peanuts. In this study, we sequenced and assembled 14 complete chloroplast genomes of Arachis. The total lengths varied from 156,287 bp to 156, 402 bp, and the average guanine–cytosine content was 36.4% in 14 Arachis species. A total of 85 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) loci were detected, including 3 dinucleotide and 82 polynucleotide SSRs. Based on 110 complete chloroplast genomes of Arachis, a phylogenetic tree was constructed, which was divided into two groups (I and II). A total of 79 different genes were identified, of which six double-copy genes (ndhB, rpl2, rpl23, rps7, ycf1, and ycf2) and one triple-copy gene (rps12) are present in all 14 Arachis species, implying that these genes may be critical for photosynthesis. The dN/dS ratios for four genes (rps18, accD, clpP, ycf1) were larger than 1, indicating that these genes are subject to positive selection. These results not only provided rich genetic resources for molecular breeding but also candidate genes for further functional gene research.

1. Introduction

The chloroplast has two layers of cell membrane and performs photosynthesis [1,2]. In an ancient entrapment event, cyanobacteria were entrapped and engulfed by early eukaryotic cells, which then became endosymbionts [3,4], and during the long evolutionary history of green plants, there was a massive transfer of cyanobacterial genes into the nuclear genome [5]. The study of the chloroplast genome began in the 1950s, with the first detection of DNA and RNA in the chloroplasts of some higher plants [6]. The first structural features of the chloroplast were revealed in 1986 when the complete sequence of chloroplast DNA from liverworts and tobacco [7,8] was published. After that, more and more chloroplast sequences of economic crops such as soybean [9], rice [10], wheat [11], maize [12], sesame [13], and cotton [14,15,16] were released. The analysis of the complete chloroplast sequence of plants can effectively support the study of the origin and evolution of plants.
To date, next generation sequencing (NGS) has developed very rapidly, resulting in tremendous improvements and enhancement in cost reduction, high throughput, capability, and applications [17,18]. High-throughput DNA sequencing technologies have increased the amount of genomic data available, and genome sequences are widely used to determine evolutionary patterns and phylogenetic relationships [19]. Chloroplast genomes, which have an independent genetic system, are maternally inherited in most angiosperms and do not exhibit meiotic recombination, making them suitable for studies of phylogenetics, population genetics, molecular evolution, and genome evolution [2,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27]. The chloroplast genome is 120~160 kb in size and contains 100~120 highly conserved genes [28], which contain two single-copy regions (LSC and SSC) separated by two copies of inverted repeat (IR) regions [29]. The chloroplast genome has highly conserved gene content, slow molecular evolution, and a low recombination rate, making it an ideal material for species authentication and phylogenetic studies [30,31,32].
Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oil and economic crop widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions (annual production of ~46 million tons) [33]. Cultivated peanut is an allotetraploid (2n  =  4x  =  40) resulting from a cross between the two wild diploids A. duranensis (AA genome) and A. ipaensis (BB genome) [34,35,36,37]. Peanut has a relatively complex evolution, and genomic analysis suggests that the lineage has been affected by at least three polyploidizations since the origin of eudicots [38]. Genomic in situ hybridization suggests that A. monticola may be the direct wild ancestor of A. hypogaea [34]. After long-term artificial domestication and historical selection, the cultivated peanut has a relatively narrow genetic base [39]. Studying the genetic relationships between cultivated and wild peanuts is important not only to understand the evolution of peanuts and effectively utilize the abundant resources of wild species, but also to transfer excellent genes of wild peanuts into cultivated peanuts, which provide a theoretical basis for molecular breeding.
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of different Arachis species has been published and is an important reference for phylogenetic and comparative analyses [40]. The chloroplast genome sequence of the four major peanut varieties (var. hypogaea, var. hirsuta, var. fastigiate, and var. vulgaris) showed that the gene contents and orders were highly conserved [41]. Through the six peanut varieties chloroplast genome, it was found that they have a single genetic origin and that A. monticola was the immediate tetraploid ancestor from which A. hypogaea emerged during domestication [42]. The reported chloroplast genome offered a wealth of genetic information for the improvement of peanuts and also contributed to a better understanding of the evolutionary relationships between wild and cultivated plants [29,43]. In this study, we assembled 14 chloroplast genomes of Arachis, including both cultivated and wild peanut species. Through comparative analysis with 96 other peanut chloroplast genomes available in NCBI, we aim to gain insights into the genetic diversity of Arachis and identify the potential maternal genome progenitors of cultivated peanuts. This study enriches the genetic information of the chloroplast genome of Arachis and provides a theoretical basis for species classification.

2. Result

2.1. Basic Characteristics of the Acquired Arachis Chloroplast Genomes

A total of 14 sequenced chloroplast genomes of Arachis species showed a typical quadripartite structure (Table 1 and Figure 1), and the total lengths varying from 156,287 bp (Xiaohongmao) to 156, 402 bp (Ba-1) (Figure 1, Table 1). The 14 chloroplast genomes of Arachis differ only slightly in the number of genes and total proteins, which are all between 88 and 91 (Table 2). The guanine–cytosine (GC) content of the chloroplast genomes of all 14 Arachis species was 36.4% and revealed a high extent of similarity (Table 2). A total of 85 simple sequence repeats (SSR) loci were detected in the chloroplast genomes of all 14 Arachis species, including 3 dinucleotide and 82 polynucleotide SSRs. We found that the content of A/T in the SSRs was higher than that of C/G (Table S1).

2.2. Phylogenetic Analysis

A total of 110 complete chloroplast genomes from 19 different Arachis varieties were utilized to construct a phylogenetic tree using the maximum likelihood method (Figure 2; Table S4). The phylogenetic tree comprised 14 genomes obtained in this study and an additional 96 genomes obtained from NCBI. The resulting phylogenetic tree showed two major groups, Group I and Group II, which encompassed a total of 39 and 71 Arachis chloroplast genomes, respectively. The cultivated peanuts with genome type AABB and the species with genome type AA (A. duranensis) are mainly distributed in Group I. Baisha1016 belongs to A. hypogaea var. vulgaris; Silihong belongs to A. hypogaea var. fastigiata; Yunnanqicai belongs to A. hypogaea var. peruviana; Chidao1 belongs to A. hypogaea var. aequatoriana; Xiaohongmao and Tifrunner belong to A. hypogaea var. hypogaea. They are belonging to A. hypogaea, which gathers with A. hypogaea in Group I. While species in Group II had different genome types, including AABB, BB, KK, EE, etc. For example, A. duranensis, A. monticola, and the cultivated peanut are close to each other in clades of Group II. A. hoehnei (BB) showed a close relationship with A. cardenasii (AA) and A. diogoi (AA), while A. ipaensis, another possible diploid ancestor of the cultivated peanut, is grouped closely with A. batizocoi (KK). Other varieties are summarized in a large clade, and it is impossible to draw a clear boundary between them (Figure 2, Table S6).

2.3. Information on Conserved and Variable Genes in the Arachis Chloroplast Genome

On the analysis of the conservation and variability of chloroplast-related genes, a total of 130 genes (16 genes have 2 copies in the chloroplast genome) were recorded, including 73 conserved genes, 17 synonymous mutation genes, and 40 amino acid mutation genes, which included photosynthesis genes, translation-related genes, RNA genes, etc. Most genes were found in all Arachis but lhbA was present only in Silihong, Baisha1016, Yunnanqicai, Tifrunner, and Monticola; the psbZ gene was present only in Luhua11, Ip-1, Ad-1, Ba-1, St-1, Ad-2, Correntina, Chidao1, and Xiaohongmao; psbB was present in Luhua11, Ip-1, Ad-1, Ba-1, St-1, Ad-2, Correntina, Chidao1, and Xiaohongmao; and orf42 and orf56 were present only in Luhua11, Silihong, Baisha1016, Yunnanqicai, Tifrunner, Monticola, and Ip-1; petL and petN are present in Ad-1, Ba-1, St-1, Ad-2, Correntina, Chidao1, and Xiaohongmao; psaA has a deletion in Ad-1, Ba-1, St-1, Ad-2, Correntina, Chidao1, and Xiaohongmao. Ycf68 is present in Luhua11, Silihong, Baisha1016, Yunnanqicai, Tifrunner, Monticola, Ip-1, and ycf15 is present in Ad-1, Ba-1, St-1, Ad-2, Correntina, Chidao1, and Xiaohongmao, but it not conserved. In addition, we found that 12 conserved genes (rps12, rpl23, rrn16, rrn5, rrn4.5, trnAUGC, trnICAU, trnIGAU, trnLUAA, trnNGUU, trnRACG, trnVGAC), 1 synonymous mutation gene (rps7), and 3 amino acid mutation genes (rpl2, rrn23, ycf2) had 2 copies in the chloroplast gene. A. ipaensis has synonymous mutations in petA and A. stenosperma has amino acid mutations. The result showed the diversity of Arachis chloroplast genes (Table 3 and Table S3).

2.4. Arachis Chloroplast Genomes Have Diversity

We find that petB has a deletion mutation in the 5′ terminal; rpoC1 in Luhua11, Ip-1, Ad-1, Ba-1, St-1, Ad-2, and Correntina has a deletion in the 5′ terminal in; rps12 in Luhua11, Silihong, Baisha1016, Yunnanqicai, Tifrunner, Monticola, and Ip-1 has a deletion in the 5′ terminal; rps18 in Ad-1, Ba-1, St-1, Ad-2, Correntina, Chidao1, and Xiaohongmao has a deletion in the 3′ terminal. The sequence result showed that psbT might have a deletion in Ad-1, Ba-1, St-1, Ad-2, Correntina, Chidao1, and Xiaohongmao because there are two TAG in the 5′ terminal; rpl2 lost three nucleic acids in 391–393 loci. Rpl2 of Ad-1 lost one long fragment after 391 loci. Ycf1 in Xiaohongmao lost only a partial fragment, only 1221 bp. Ip-1 lost three nucleic acids in 3007–3009 loci, only 3159 bp; Ad-1, Ba-1, St-1, Ad-2, Correntina, Chidao1, and Xiaohongmao has lost 1403 bp in the 3′ terminal compared with Luhua11, Silihong, Baisha1016, Yunnanqicai, Tifrunner, and Monticola. Ycf2 In Luhua11, Baisha1016, and Tifrunner, there is 285 bp longer than others in the 5′ terminal. Luhua11 lost one fragment from 5302 to 5319, and Baisha1016 lost one fragment from 5293 to 5310. Ycf3 in Ad-2 and Xiaohongmao lost 270 bp (total 501 bp) in the 3′ terminal (Table 4).

2.5. The Selective Pressure of Arachis Chloroplast Genes Using Codeml

A total of 53 chloroplast genes were selected to test the selection pressure. The dN/dS ratios for 49 genes are less than 1, indicating functional conservation of the gene during evolution and suggesting that these genes were subject to purifying selection. The dN/dS ratios for 4 genes (rps18, accD, clpP, ycf1) are greater than 1, indicating that these genes were subject to positive selection, suggesting that these genes evolved at a high rate and thus may play a crucial role in the evolution of Arachis species (Table S2). In addition, 36 genes have Ts/Tv ratios above 1, indicating that they are more frequent than transversions, and 17 genes have Ts/Tv ratios below 1, indicating that transversions are more frequent than transitions (Table S2).

2.6. The Replication of Chloroplast Genes

Gene replication occurred in 14 Arachis, with six double-copy genes (ndhB, rpl2, rpl23, rps7, ycf1, and ycf2) and one triple-copy gene (rps12) present in all 14 Arachis. The copy number of many chloroplast genes varied between individuals of the different Arachis. NdhK and psaA were present in two copies in Ad-1; orf42, orf56, and ycf68 were present in three copies in Luhua11, Silihong, Baisha1016, Yunnanqicai, Tifrunner, Monticola, and Ip-1; ndhK and psaA occurred in two copies in Ad-1, Ba-1, St-1, Ad-2, Correntina, Chidao1, and Xiaohongmao; ycf15 occurred in two copies in Ip-1 but in four copies in Ad-1, Ba-1, St-1, Ad-2, Correntina, Chidao1, and Xiaohongmao (Table S3). The result shows that these genes may play a crucial role in photosynthesis.

3. Discussion

The chloroplast genomes were highly conserved, there was no recombination, and they were compact in size and maternally inherited, which led to a better understanding of the origin and genetic resources [44,45,46]. In this study, all chloroplast genomes exhibited the classical quadripartite structure, which typically contains an LSC range from 85,843 bp to 85,953 bp in size, an SSC range from 18,760 bp to 18,812 bp in size, and are separated by two IR 25,818 bp to 25,844 bp. The same structure and number had also been reported in other Arachis species [29,39,41]. The GC content in the present study was 36.4%, which was also consistent with previous results of 36.3% to 36.4% [29,40,41,43,47]. Although the size and structure of the chloroplast genomes of Arachis are conserved, there was a wealth of genetic information, including SSRs, Indels, and SNPs in the chloroplast genomes of Arachis. Repetitive sequences (minisatellite, microsatellite, and satellite sequences) are very common in sequence and copy number during evolution and therefore play an important role in taxonomic and phylogenetic studies. A total of 101 and 69 SSR loci were identified by Yin et al. and Wang et al., respectively [29,41], and 85 SSR loci were found in the present study, so these results can effectively provide genetic markers to elucidate the complex evolutionary history of Arachis.
During evolution, many ancient chloroplast genes were translocated from the chloroplast genome to the cell nucleus, but the proteins important for photosynthesis remained in the chloroplast genome [48]. On average, the chloroplast genomes of land plants have retained about 120 genes with conserved content [49]. In the present study, a total of 79 different genes were obtained and we compared and analyzed the gene content, genomic organization, and RNA editing sites of 14 representative Arachis chloroplast genomes. The results showed that the Arachis chloroplast has a relatively conservative gene content, but there are significant differences among chloroplast genes in terms of deficiency and mutation. The evolutionary rate ratio dN/dS is often used to infer selection pressure in protein-coding genes, i.e., the ratio of non-synonymous to synonymous substitution rates [50]. This ratio indicates how quickly the amino acids that make up a protein change relative to synonymous changes, and it is often used to identify protein sites subject to purifying selection (dN/dS < 1), neutral evolution (dN/dS ≈ 1) or positive diversifying selection (dN/dS > 1) [51,52]. We tested the selection pressure for 53 chloroplast genes and found that 4 of them are above 1, of which assembly/stability of photosystem I “ycf1” occurred in three copies, implying that it may play a key role in photosynthesis, so it probably has potential research value (Table S2). In addition, we found two genes “psbZ” and “psbB” that played a crucial role in photosynthesis and are only found in wild Arachis, they might have disappeared in long-term evolution and domestication or transferred to the nucleus (Table S3). The 14 chloroplast genomes obtained in the present study not only help us to better understand the genetic and phylogenetic relationships between wild and cultivated Arachis species but also provide a wealth of genetic resources for peanut breeding.
It is generally accepted that A. hypogaea has been divided into two subspecies ssp. fastigiate and ssp. hypogaea, of which four botanical varieties var. fastigiate, var. vulgaris, var. peruviana, and var. aequatoriana belong to the var. fastigiate, and two botanical varieties var. hypogaea, and var. hirsute belong to the ssp. Hypogaea [53]. Arachis classification mainly depended on morphological characteristics and was not consistently supported by work at the molecular level when different methods or genetic markers were used [33,34]. Wild species exhibited much greater genetic diversity and provided a large pool of genetic diversity from which new allelic variation can be obtained for breeding programs [54,55]. We selected 7 different Arachis including var. fastigiate (Silihong), var. vulgaris (Baisha1016), var. peruviana (Yunnanqicai), var. aequatoriana (Chidao1), var. hypogaea (Tifrunner and Xiaohongmao) and sequential flowering intermediate type (Luhua11), and 7 various wild types including AA (Ad-1, St-1, Ad-2, Correntina), BB (Ip-1), KK (Ba-1), AABB (Monticola), then the chloroplast genomes of 14 Arachis were sequenced and assembled in present study. Based on our phylogenetic analysis with its genome type information, hybridization appears to play an important role in the evolutionary history of cultivated species. A. monticola, a wild tetraploid species, was clustered in the Arachis complex group II near the cultivated peanuts and may represent a transitional species that underwent the most recent hybridization event (Figure 2). Var. fastigiate was closely related to var. hypogaea in Group I, which supported a close relationship between them that differs from what we would expect based on the previous classification by high-quality SNP from genome sequencing, in which the phylogenetic tree exhibited that they were clustered into two groups [56,57]. It appears that nuclear genome sequence data are insufficient or unreliable to interpret the evolutionary relationship between allotetraploid species. In addition, we found that there are some individual species embedded in A. hypogaea according to the phylogenetic tree, such as Correntina and Ad-2, which we sequenced, although they belong to the wild species that cluster with A. hypogaea in Group I, which means that there are similar genomes between wild species and cultivated species in the chloroplasts of Arachis, showing that wild species and cultivated species are also genetically closely related. Due to the maternally inherited and highly conservative characteristics of the chloroplast, it should be used for genetic relationships. We aligned the sequence of the chloroplast genomes of cultivated and wild peanuts and found that the identity value between Luhua11 (A. hypogaea) and Ad-2 (A. duranensis) was the highest at 41.46%. This result is consistent with the previous view that the wild diploid A. duranensis is one of the parents of the cultivated peanut, indicating that Ad-2 served as the maternal donor of the cultivated peanut. The 14 chloroplast genomes obtained in the present study provide a wealth of genetic resources for peanut breeding.
The genus Arachis consists of 81 species with a wide variety of genome types, including AA, BB, AABB, CC, DD, EE, EEXX, FF, HH, KK, PR, RR1, RR2, TT, and TTEE. Since not all Arachis genome types were included in this study, it is limited to understanding the origin and evolution of cultivated peanuts. Future work should attempt to collect germplasm resources of a variety of genome types from different geographic regions to provide a better understanding of the taxonomic status of the different Arachis species and the evolutionary relationships between them.

4. Materials and Methods

4.1. Plant Material and DNA Extraction

A total of 14 Arachis species (A. hypogaea (Luhua11), A. hypogaea var. fastigiata (Silihong), A. hypogaea var. vulgaris (Baisha1016), A. hypogaea var. peruviana (Yunnanqicai), A. hypogaea var. aequatoriana (Chidao1), A. hypogaea cv. tifrunner (Tifrunner), A. hypogaea var. hypogaea (Xiaohongmao), A. monticola (Monticola), A. batizocoi (Ba-1), A. ipaensis (Ip-1) A. duranensis (Ad-1), A. duranensis (Ad-2), A.stenosperma (St-1), A. correntina (Correntina) were grown in the greenhouse. Fresh leaves were collected for total genomic DNA isolation using the SteadyPure Plant Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (Accurate Biotechnology, Changsha China), and the DNA concentration was quantified using a NanoDrop (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).

4.2. Genome Assembly and Annotation

Each DNA sample was randomly fragmented, and the target amplicon fragment was repaired, then subjected to blunt end repair and phosphorylation with T4 DNA polymerase, Klenow DNA polymerase, and T4-PNK. A-tailing was then inserted at the 3′-ends. The adaptors were ligated with base “T” at the 3′ end of the DNA fragments using T4 DNA ligase. Subsequently, the qualified libraries were used for cluster preparation, and sequencing by synthesis was performed on the Illumina Hiseq platform using the Truseq v3-HS Kit (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). Estimated genome size using K-mer statistical analysis methods and assembled with clean data from SOAPdenovo 2.04 software [58], then after paired-end from reads relationships of overlay, the assembly results were partially assembled and optimized. Finally, remove redundant segment sequences to obtain the final assembly result from GapCloser 1.12 software. Scattered repetition repeated sequences were calculated using RepeatMasker 3.30 software [59], and tandem repeat (TR) was calculated using TRF 4.04 software [60], with the result plotted using sigmaplot 13.
DOGMA software [61] was used to perform component analysis of the sample genome. The identity value for the prediction of coding proteins was set to 40, and other parameters were default values to obtain the prediction results of coding genes of the sample genome and non-coding RNA. Homologous comparison methods (BLAST) were used for gene function labeling [62], and the database of generic functional annotations for prokaryotes includes the Non-Redundant Protein Database (NR), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) [63,64], Cluster of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COG) [65,66], Gene Ontology (GO) [67,68], Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL [69].

4.3. Phylogenetic Analysis

A total of 110 complete chloroplast genomes of Arachis (96 from NCBI and 14 from present study) were used to construct a phylogenetic tree. To do this, an alignment was first performed and then a cutoff of 10% was set using CLC Genomics Workbench.
Maximum likelihood analysis was performed using IQ-TREE with 1000 bootstrap replicates, and the result was displayed using FigTree 1.4.4.
