The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Ostericum koreanum (Apiaceae)

Abstract

Ostericum koreanum Kitagawa is an important herbal medicine, whose taxonomic status has been changed to Angelica reflexa as a new species. This study generated the complete chloroplast genome sequence of O. koreanum , and reconsidered its molecular taxonomic status in Angelic a by comparing it with related species. The length of the complete chloroplast genome was 147,282 bp, and there were four structures that included the large single copy region (93,185 bp), the small single copy region (17,663 bp) and the duplicated inverted regions (18,217 bp of each). Based on its phylogenetic trees, O. koreanum was grouped by high bootstrap value with the Angelica species. This result proved that O. koreanum is included in Angelica . Therefore, this chloroplast genome data generated for the first time a valuable genetic resource for the discrimination of herbal materials, phylogeny, and evolution.

Using RAD seq for reconstructing phylogenies of highly diverged taxa: A test using the tribe Scandiceae (Apiaceae)

“…The reduced representation sequencing approach has been successfully employed to infer shallow relationships within the morphologically diverse Daucus carota species complex and its allies (Arbizu et al, 2016; Mezghani et al, 2018). Other phylogenomic approaches to the study of Apiaceae included the design of expressed sequence tag (EST)‐based markers (Arbizu et al, 2014) or analyses of entire chloroplast genomes (Choi et al, 2016; Yang et al, 2017). The former method, though potentially useful for inference of deep phylogenetic relationships, requires time‐consuming procedures of primer design and PCR optimization, whereas the latter relies on data from a single organellar genome that may not reflect the species tree (Piwczyński et al, 2018).…”
