Abstract:The complete mitochondrial genome of the
Omphalius rusticus
has been determined. The complete genome is 18,067 bp and contained 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes. The overall base composition is 33.48% (A), 33.52% (T), 15.58% (G) and 17.42% (C). The all start codon for 13 protein-coding genes is ATG and the most common termination codon is TAA. The phylogenetic tree showed that
O. rusticus
is most closely related to the
Tectus py… Show more
“…In addition to supplying energy for cellular activities, mtDNA is involved in many other biological and biochemical processes, such as calcium storage (Deline et al, 2021 ), cellular proliferation, signal conduction, etc. Interestingly, mtDNA has long been assumed to be exempted from natural selection (Galtier et al, 2009 ) and used to address evolutionary questions that require neutral markers, such as phylogenetic analysis of species relationships (Mao et al, 2020 ). Experimental evaluation of mitochondrial contribution to ecological adaptation such as thermal adaptation is limited, especially in plant pathogens.…”
As a vital element of climate change, elevated temperatures resulting from global warming present new challenges to natural and agricultural sustainability, such as ecological disease management. Mitochondria regulate the energy production of cells in responding to environmental fluctuation, but studying their contribution to the thermal adaptation of species is limited. This knowledge is needed to predict future disease epidemiology for ecology conservation and food security. Spatial distributions of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) in 405 Phytophthora infestans isolates originating from 15 locations were characterized. The contribution of MtDNA to thermal adaptation was evaluated by comparative analysis of mtDNA frequency and intrinsic growth rate, relative population differentiation in nuclear and mtDNA, and associations of mtDNA distribution with local geography climate conditions. Significant variation in frequency, intrinsic growth rate, and spatial distribution was detected in mtDNA. Population differentiation in mtDNA was significantly higher than that in the nuclear genome, and spatial distribution of mtDNA was strongly associated with local climatic conditions and geographic parameters, particularly air temperature, suggesting natural selection caused by a local temperature is the main driver of the adaptation. Dominant mtDNA grew faster than the less frequent mtDNA. Our results provide useful insights into the evolution of pathogens under global warming. Given its important role in biological functions and adaptation to local air temperature, mtDNA intervention has become an increasing necessity for future disease management. To secure ecological integrity and food production under global warming, a synergistic study on the interactive effect of changing temperature on various components of biological and ecological functions of mitochondria in an evolutionary frame is urgently needed.
