Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete chloroplast genome of Tulipa patens (Liliaceae).

The chloroplast genome and evolutionary relationship analysis of Tulipa patens could provide fundamental genetic reference for its molecular breeding and biological research. The complete chloroplast genome of T. patens was sequenced and reported here. The genome was 152,050 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeated regions (26,330 bp) which were separated by a large single copy region of 82,184 bp, and a small single copy region of 17,206 bp. A total of 133 functional genes were annotated, including 87 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic relationships of 10 species indicated that T. patens was closely related to Tulipa sylvestris.

Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Eristalia cerealis (Diptera: Syrphidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome of Eristalia cerealis was sequenced and reported here. The circle genome of the syrphid fly is 15,348 bp in length. There are 38 sequence elements including 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region. The order of all elements was the same with that of E. tenax. With 2 species from Muscidae and Drosophilidae as outgroups, phylogenetic relationships of 10 Syrphidae species based on mitogenomes were in complete agreement with their taxonomic relationships based on morphological characteristics. Our result will provide more fundamental data to the development of the molecular systematics of Syrphidae.

Complete chloroplast genome of Tulipa buhseana (Liliaceae).

The complete chloroplast genome of Tulipa buhseana was sequenced and reported here. The circular genome of T. buhseana is 152,062 bp in length and contains 133 functional genes consisting of 87 coding sequences, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. With 1 species from Smilacaceae and 1 species from Alstroemeriaceae as outgroup, phylogenetic relationships of 8 Liliaceae species based on their chloroplast genomes indicated that T. buhseana is closest to T. altaica.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Tulipa iliensis (Liliaceae).

The chloroplast genome and evolutionary relationship analysis of Tulipa gesneriana L. could provide fundamental genetic reference for its molecular breeding and biological research. The complete chloroplast genome of Tulipa iliensis was sequenced and reported here. Its chloroplast genome was 151,744 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeated regions (26,354 bp) which were separated by a large single copy region of 81,794 bp, and a small single copy region of 17,242 bp. Moreover, a total of 133 functional genes were annotated, including 87 mRNA, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes.The phylogenetic relationships of 16 species indicated that T. iliensis was closely related to T. altaica.
