The water lily genome and the early evolution of flowering plants

Abstract: Water lilies belong to the angiosperm order Nymphaeales. Amborellales, Nymphaeales and Austrobaileyales together form the so-called ANA-grade of angiosperms, which are extant representatives of lineages that diverged the earliest from the lineage leading to the extant mesangiosperms 1-3. Here we report the 409-megabase genome sequence of the blue-petal water lily (Nymphaea colorata). Our phylogenomic analyses support Amborellales and Nymphaeales as successive sister lineages to all other extant angiosperms. Th… Show more

“…This result disagrees with the resolution of APG III and IV, which placed magnoliids as sister to a clade containing both monocots and eudicots. However, it is in line with a previous analysis of 59 lowcopy nuclear genes in 26 Mesangiospermae (Zeng et al, 2014), and a phylogeny constructed by orthologous lowcopy nuclear genes in 115 plant species (Zhang et al, 2020). In addition, it was also supported by the phylogenomic framework constructed by 410 single-copy nuclear gene families extracted from genome and transcriptome data from 1153 species (One Thousand Plant Transcriptomes Initiative, 2019).…”

“…LR722139 sequence originated from Nymphaea colorata genome (Zhang et al 2020) presented high nucleotide similarity with our mitogenome with two times duplicated regions. After removing repeat regions, 5 SNPs and 339 INDELs are identified.…”

“…Additionally, U. gibba could be used as a heterologous expression system for expression of orthologous genes of other carnivorous or aquatic plants. Of these plant groups, genomes for Cephalotus follicularis and water lily were recently completely sequenced [27,47].The transformation system of U. gibba could be powerful for functional genomics and evolutionary studies in these important plant genomes. One of the most important advantages of the U. gibba genome is the fact that it is very compact, but contains the full gene repertoire required for a fully functional, flowering plant.…”
