Background. Plant chloroplast genome have conservative structure, but its nucleotide sequence is polymorphous due to which cpDNA fragments are often used in taxonomic and phylogenetic studies. Despite the widespread distribution and use of Fabeae species, mainly peas (Pisum), data on the intraspecific diversity of cpDNA fragments are almost absent. The aim of the work was to analyze the intraspecific variability of three cpDNA spacers in Pisum. Materials and methods. As a result of the work, intergenic spacers trnYtrnT, trnHpsbA and rpoBtrnC in 38 accessions of the Pisum and related Fabeae species were sequenced. Despite the fact that the selected chloroplast fragments are generally considered to be sufficiently variable in plants and are often used for phylogenetic studies, Pisum accessions have been found to have no intraspecific differences in two of the three spacers sequences analyzed. Results and conclusion. A total 97 SNPs were detected in Pisum accessions, seven of them distinguished P. sativum from P. fulvum. The most variable of the analyzed fragments was the intergenic spacer rpoBtrnC. Based on rpoBtrnC sequence 17 haplotypes in P. sativum and four haplotypes in P. fulvum were revealed. The cpDNA sequencing data were used for a phylogenetic analysis. On the obtained tree Vavilovia formosa accession formed a separate branch from pea accessions. All Pisum accessions fall in one cluster, split into distinct P. sativum and P. fulvum subclusters (BI = 99%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
