Phylogenetic relationships and characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of strawberry, Fragaria x ananassa (Rosaceae: Fragaria)

Abstract

Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) is an economically and important fruit species that is grown extensively around the entire world. In this study, we obtained the complete chloroplast genome of F. x ananassa. The chloroplast genome of F. x ananassa is 155,529 bp in size, containing a large singlecopy region (85,523 bp), a small single-copy region (18,136 bp) and a pair of IR regions (each one of 25,935 bp). The overall GC contents of the chloroplast genome is 37.2%. The chloroplast genome of F. x ananassa contains 135 genes, including 90 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic maximum-likelihood (ML) tree was constructed and based on 18 species plants and F. x ananassa chloroplast genomes, which F. x ananassa is closest related to Fragaria vesca subsp. vesca in phylogenetic relationship. This complete chloroplast genome can be further used for genomic studies, phylogenetic analyses, and genetic engineering studies of the genus Fragaria.

Climate change increases net CO2assimilation in the leaves of strawberry, but not yield

“…The genome of chloroplasts has been determined for several cultivated and wild species (Bai et al, 2017;Cheng et al, 2017;Harrison et al, 1997;Honjo et al, 2009;Huang et al, 2019a;Li et al, 2021a;Song et al, 2023;Sun et al, 2021). Different types of photosynthesis-related genes respond differently to hybridisation and chromosome doubling within Fragaria .…”

Phylogenetic Analysis of Strawberry, Fragaria x ananassa (Rosaceae: Fragaria) using Cytochrome C Heme Attachment Protein (ccsA) Gene

“…Likewise cluster-III, Cluster-IV comprises members from Potentilla genus only except P. parvifolia which alone belongs to the cluster-V with other species. Similarly, the molecular phylogenetic relationship between Fragaria species and Rosaceae family were established to study the evolutionary intraspecific and interspecific relationship by using both nuclear and chloroplast sequences (Potter et al, 2000;DiMeglio et al, 2014;Huang et al, 2019). Overall the phylogenetic analysis of Rosaceae family revealed that ccsA gene sequences can be used for diversity analysis and establishment of evolutionary relationship between Rosaceae family members.…”
