Recent structural variations in the Medicago chloroplast genomes and their horizontal transfer into nuclear chromosomes

Abstract: Medicago is a genus of legumes (Fabaceae) that resemble common clovers with pinnately trifoliate leaves and spirally coiled seed pods, and Medicago sativa is a famous forage crop throughout the world. In this study, we systematically assembled the complete plastid genomes of 18 Medicago species, representing 35 Medicago accessions, whose genome size ranged from ~119 to 125 kb, and identified one novel inverted repeat (IR) in two accessions of Medicago soleirolii (PI537242 and PI537243), albeit of no IRs in the… Show more

“…The M . littoralis accession sampled in Jiao et al 37 lacks the 45-kb inversion 32 and was placed in a clade with M . truncatula accessions may also be a misidentification.…”

“…This suggests that the occurrence of two distinct plastome configurations in M. truncatula accessions is different from that of intraspecific inversion isomers, which share little or no DNA sequence divergence but mainly differ with regard to their gene order due to highly active genome rearrangements, such as found in Pinaceae 54 , Cupressaceae 55 , 56 , Taxus (Taxaceae) 57 , Eleocharis (Cyperaceae) 58 , Monsonia emarginata (L.f.) L'Hér. (Geraniaceae) 59 , and Medicago soleirolii (Fabaceae) 37 . The 45-kb inversion also differs from homoplastic plastome structural evolution found among various distinct taxonomic groups in Papilionoideae 33 , 34 , 60 62 .…”
