Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Chenopodium album from Northeastern India

Abstract

Chenopodium album belongs to the complex genus Chenopodium of the family Amaranthaceae. It is an economically and medicinally important plant. We report here the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. album from northeastern India. This study shall add extensive information on the evolutionary relationships of the genus Chenopodium.

The Comparative Analyses of Six Complete Chloroplast Genomes of Morphologically Diverse Chenopodium album L. (Amaranthaceae) Collected in Korea

“…They are similar to that of one of the two previously sequenced C. album chloroplast genomes, of which GenBank accession is NC_034950 (152,167 bp) [ 23 ]. Interestingly, the other chloroplast genome of C. album , MF418659, displays much shorter (150,272 bp) than those of the remaining C. album chloroplast genomes [ 24 ]. Their overall GC contents are conserved as between 37.2% and 37.3%, which are slightly higher than that of MF418659 (37.0%; Table 2 ).…”

The complete chloroplast genome of Chenopodium ficifolium Sm. (Amaranthaceae)

“…Twenty-one complete chloroplast genomes of Amaranthaceae including seven Chenopodium (Devi and Thongam 2017;Hong et al 2017;Wang et al 2017) and one Dysphania (Kim et al, 2019) chloroplast genomes were used for constructing phylogenic trees. Whole chloroplast genome sequences were aligned using MAFFT 7.388 (Katoh and Standley 2013) for constructing maximum likelihood tree (bootstrap repeat is 1,000) using IQ-TREE (Nguyen et al 2015).…”

Chenopodium album isolated from India Himalayan area (MF418659) of which seed color is white, similar to C. quinoa, makes C. album paraphyletic (Devi and Thongam 2017). It indicates that it should be treated as a new species (Figure 1).…”

The second complete chloroplast genome of Dysphania pumilio (R.Br.) mosyakin & clemants (Amranthaceae): intraspecies variation of invasive weeds

“…Two complete Dysphania (Kim et al 2019b), six Cheopodium (Devi and Thongam 2017;Hong et al 2017;Wang et al 2017;Kim et al 2019a), and five Amranthaceae chloroplast genomes were used for constructing bootstrapped neighborjoining, maximum likelihood, and minimum evolution phylogenetic trees using MEGA X (Kumar et al 2018) based on whole chloroplast genome alignment calculated by MAFFT 7.388 (Katoh and Standley 2013). Phylogenetic trees show the phylogenetic position of Dysphania genus is the same as previous phylogenetic study (Figure 1; Fuentes-Bazan et al 2012).…”
