Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of the Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Favorita (Solanaceae)

Abstract

Potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.), a species of the family Solanaceae, is the fourth most important food crop worldwide. Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Favorita is a long oval, smooth, yellowish-skinned potato variety with green and plump leaves. It has a dry matter content of 17.7% and starch content of 12.4–14.01% in the tuber. In order to support more genetic data for the taxonomy of S. tuberosum , the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of S. tuberosum L. cv. Favorita was determined using next-generation sequencing. In leaves, the chloroplast genome accounts for 5.17% of the total genome. The entire cp genome was determined to be 155,296 bp in length. It contained large single-copy (LSC) and small single-copy (SSC) regions of 85,737 and 18,373 bp, respectively, which were separated by a pair of 25,593 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The genome contained 132 total genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the genome is 37.9%. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed by 60 chloroplast genomes reveals that S. tuberosum L. cv. Favorita is most closely related to S. tuberosum L. cv. Desiree and S. tuberosum L. cv. Atlantic.

Revealing the Complete Chloroplast Genome of an Andean Horticultural Crop, Sweet Cucumber (Solanum muricatum), and Its Comparison with Other Solanaceae Species

“…Employing next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques, here, we sequenced for the first time the S. muricatum cp genome with accession number: OK326864, and compared to other cp genomes of seven Solanaceae species, which revealed similar genomic features. The S. muricatum cp genome is similar in gene content to most angiosperm species [26,[28][29][30]. The complete cp genome of S. muricatum was 155,681 pb in length, which was very similar to other Solanaceae genomes with a typical structure (two IR regions, LSC, and SSC).…”

Development and Mechanism Investigation of Novel Thioacetalized Indoles as Antiphytoviral Agents

“…Solanum tuberosum L., commonly known as potato, is a versatile crop that produces tubers with immense nutritional and medicinal value . It is the fourth most cultivated food crop in China, surpassed only by rice, maize, and wheat . Potato virus Y (PVY) was first identified in potato farms of Europe in 1931 and has ever since been disseminated worldwide .…”

“…1 It is the fourth most cultivated food crop in China, surpassed only by rice, maize, and wheat. 2 Potato virus Y (PVY) was first identified in potato farms of Europe in 1931 and has ever since been disseminated worldwide. 3 In 1980, multiple successive reports highlighted the substantial damage to crop inflicted by PVY in major potato-growing regions of China, such as Heilongjiang and Henan.…”

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Solanum erianthum: genome structure and genomic resources

“…To obtain insight explore the position of S. erianthum within Solanaceae, phylogenetic analyses were performed using maximum likelihood (ML) in RAxML8.0 with 1000 bootstrap replicates (Stamatakis 2014 ) ( Figure 1 ) . Based on previous studies, the ML phylogenetic reconstructed based on whole chloroplast genomes from 62 Solanum plants and one sample Eucommia ulmoides as outgroup plants (Li et al 2021 ). ML analysis showed that S. erianthum was the most closely related species to S. violaceum with 100% bootstrap values.…”
