Abstract

Chloroplast genomes provide important insights into plant phylogeny, genome evolution, and molecular marker development. In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and analyzed the complete chloroplast genomes of two endemic species from Uzbekistan, Astragalus nuratensis and Oxytropis pseudorosea. Genome skimming generated high-quality paired-end reads, enabling the recovery of complete plastomes with mean sequencing depths of 638× and 1,725×, respectively. The chloroplast genomes were 122,316 bp in A. nuratensis and 122,708 bp in O. pseudorosea. Both genomes encoded 110 unique genes, including 76 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA genes, and 4 ribosomal RNA genes. Consistent with members of the inverted repeat–lacking clade of Fabaceae, both species lacked the typical inverted repeat regions, resulting in a single-copy genome structure. Phylogenetic analysis based on 119 complete chloroplast genomes resolved major lineages within Astragalus and related genera with strong support. Astragalus nuratensis was placed within the Phaca clade, while Oxytropis pseudorosea formed part of a distinct Oxytropis lineage. These results provide new genomic resources for understanding evolutionary relationships and plastome evolution in Central Asian legumes.

Introduction Chloroplast (cp) genomes of angiosperms have been widely used in studies of phylogeny, sequence variation, genome evolution, and the development of molecular markers. In most angiosperms, the cp genome exhibits a conserved quadripartite structure consisting of a large single-copy (LSC) region, a small single-copy (SSC) region, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions ( Karimov et al., 2025 ). Nevertheless, structural modifications, including gene rearrangements, inversions, expansion or loss of IR regions, gene loss, and pseudogene formation, have been documented in several lineages, particularly in Fabaceae ( Cai et al., 2008 ; Son & Choi, 2022 ). Fabaceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants and includes many species of considerable ecological and agricultural importance. According to recent classifications, the family is divided into six subfamilies: Caesalpinioideae, Cercidoideae, Detarioideae, Dialioideae, Duparquetioideae, and Faboideae (Papilionoideae) ( Azani et al., 2017 ). Within Faboideae, the inverted repeat–lacking clade (IRLC) is characterized by the loss of one copy of the IR region (approximately 25 kb) in the chloroplast genome. This clade comprises about 52 genera and more than 4,000 species, and plastomes of IRLC taxa frequently show gene loss or pseudogenization (e.g., rps16, rpl22, infA, accD, and ycf4), intron loss (clpP, atpF, and rpoC1), inversions, and occasional transfer of genes to the nuclear genome ( Son & Choi, 2022 ). Within the IRLC, the genera Astragalus L. (3,095 species) and Oxytropis DC. (608 species) represent highly diverse and taxonomically complex groups ( POWO, 2026 ). In the present study, we sequenced, assembled, and analyzed the cp genomes of Oxytropis pseudorosea Filim. and Astragalus nuratensis Popov, two narrowly distributed endemic species from the Nuratau Mountains of Uzbekistan, Central Asia. Methods Leaf samples of Oxytropis pseudorosea and Astragalus nuratensis were collected in 2024 from the Nuratau Mountains, Uzbekistan, by Diyorjon Hamrayev. Species identification was carried out by Beshko Natalya ( Astragalus nuratensis ) and Doston Turdiyev ( Oxytropis pseudorosea ). Voucher specimens were deposited in the National Herbarium of Uzbekistan (TASH) under the accession numbers TASH-2024-AN-001 and TASH-2024-OP-002. Genomic DNA was isolated from leaf tissue using the Tiangen DP305 Plant Genomic DNA Kit (Beijing, China). Libraries were prepared with the NEBNext ® Ultra™ DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina (NEB, USA; Cat. E7370L) following the manufacturer’s protocol, with index codes added during preparation. DNA was sonicated to ~350 bp and fragments were end-repaired, A-tailed, and ligated to Illumina adapters, followed by PCR amplification. PCR products were purified using AMPure XP beads (Beverly, USA). Library quality was assessed on an Agilent 5400 system, and concentrations were quantified by qPCR (1.5 nM). Qualified libraries were pooled and sequenced on Illumina platforms using the PE150 strategy at Novogene (Beijing, China). High-quality reads were assembled de novo using NOVOPlasty v4.3.5 ( Dierckxsens et al., 2017 ), with the plastomes of Astragalus agrestis Douglas ex G. Don and Oxytropis neimonggolica C.W. Chang & Y.Z. Zhao serving as seed references. The assembly generated a single circular chloroplast genome for each species without structural ambiguities. To assess assembly accuracy and sequencing depth, clean paired-end reads were aligned to the assembled plastomes using BWA-MEM v0.7.17 ( Li, 2013 ). Alignments were subsequently sorted and indexed with SAMtools v1.19.2 ( Li et al., 2009 ). Genome annotation was conducted in Geneious v9.0.2 ( Kearse et al., 2012 ) using closely related reference plastomes. Protein-coding genes, transfer RNAs, and ribosomal RNAs were annotated, and gene boundaries were manually curated to ensure accurate start/stop codons and intron–exon junctions. Furthermore, the cp map was generated using Chloroplot ( https://irscope.shinyapps.io/chloroplot/ ) ( Zheng et al., 2020 ). For several taxa included in the phylogenetic analysis, complete chloroplast genome sequences were not available in GenBank. Only raw sequencing data (SRA accessions; SRR numbers listed in Table 1 ) were available. Therefore, the chloroplast genomes of these taxa were assembled. A total of 119 complete chloroplast genome sequences were included in the phylogenetic analysis. Of these, two plastomes were newly sequenced in this study, while the remaining 117 sequences were downloaded from the NCBI GenBank database ( Table 1 ) . Complete chloroplast genome sequences were aligned using MAFFT ( Katoh & Standley, 2013 ). The alignment was manually inspected and used to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships under the maximum likelihood criterion in IQ-TREE 2 ( Minh et al., 2020 ). The best-fit substitution model was selected using ModelFinder ( Kalyaanamoorthy et al., 2017 ), and branch support was assessed with 1,000 ultrafast bootstrap replicates ( Hoang et al., 2018 ).

After quality filtering, 39,666,696 and 16,994,332 reads were retained as high-quality reads for A. nuratensis and O. pseudorosea , respectively. Mapping of the filtered reads to the assembled chloroplast reference genomes showed that 540,829 reads (1.36%) in A. nuratensis and 1,421,542 reads (8.36%) in O. pseudorosea were successfully aligned. Properly paired reads accounted for 1.33% and 8.27% of the total reads, respectively. The chloroplast genome of Astragalus nuratensis was recovered with a mean sequencing depth of 638.13×. In contrast, the chloroplast genome of O. pseudorosea exhibited a substantially higher mean sequencing depth of 1,725.34×. The complete chloroplast genome of O. pseudorosea was 122,708 bp in length, whereas that of A. nuratensis was 122,316 bp. Both genomes encoded a total of 110 unique genes, including 76 protein-coding genes (CDS), 30 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 4 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes ( Figure 1 ). Consistent with other members of the inverted repeat–lacking clade (IRLC) of legumes, the typical inverted repeat regions were absent in both species, resulting in a single-copy chloroplast genome structure, a feature commonly reported in plastome studies of Astragalus and related taxa ( Moghaddam et al., 2023 ; Ma et al., 2025 ; Li et al., 2025 ). Figure 1. The circular map of the chloroplast genomes of Astragalus nuratensis was drawn using the Chloroplot to show the genes present in each region (LSC, SSC, and IRs). The transcription directions for the inner and outer genes are clockwise and anticlockwise, respectively, and each functional group of genes is distinctively color-marked. In the inner circle, the darker gray shades represent the GC content, and the lighter gray shades signify the AT content. Maximum likelihood analysis based on complete chloroplast genome sequences resolved the sampled taxa into several well-supported clades corresponding to recognized infrageneric groups within Astragalus and related genera ( Figure 2 ). Most backbone nodes received strong bootstrap support (BS ≥ 95), indicating a stable phylogenetic structure. The overall topology was consistent with previous phylogenomic studies of Astragalus , which also recovered major lineages with strong support using plastome and target-enrichment data ( Su et al., 2021 ; Buono et al., 2025 ). Figure 2. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree inferred from complete chloroplast genome sequences showing the relationships of Astragalus nuratensis , Oxytropis pseudorosea , and other members of the inverted repeat–lacking clade (IRLC). Species of Astragalus were distributed among the major lineages corresponding to the Hypoglottis, Neo-Astragalus, Diholcos, Astracantha, Contortuplicata, Hamosa, Trimeniaeus, and Phaca clades. Among these, the Phaca clade represented one of the largest lineages and included A. nuratensis , which grouped with other members of this clade with strong bootstrap support. Species of Oxytropis , including O. pseudorosea , formed a distinct and well-supported lineage corresponding to the Oxytropis + Coluteoid clade, clearly separated from the main Astragalus lineages, in agreement with previous plastome-based phylogenies ( Buono et al., 2025 ). In the phylogenetic tree, A. zerabulaki , another endemic species, was resolved within the Hypoglottis clade and formed a well-supported sister relationship with A. rumpens , indicating close evolutionary relationships among members of this lineage.

Continue reading READ ALL Dear Authors, Thank you for reporting the complete chloroplast genomes of Astragalus nuratensis and Oxytropis pseudorosea . The addition of new plastome resources for Astragalus and Oxytropis—two of the largest and most taxonomically challenging genera in the inverted repeat–lacking clade (IRLC)—is a welcome contribution, particularly given the ongoing interest in plastome evolution within this clade. Below I offer several suggestions that I believe would strengthen the manuscript. 1. Citation for the conserved quadripartite structure of chloroplast genomes In the Introduction, the conserved quadripartite structure of angiosperm chloroplast genomes is cited as (Karimov et al. 2025). However, this is a well-established and broadly recognized feature of plastome architecture that has been described in numerous foundational works. The cited reference reports chloroplast genomes of Cousinia (Asteraceae) species and, while a valuable study in its own right, does not serve as a primary or representative source for this general statement. I would suggest replacing it with one or more widely cited references that originally established this structural model. 2. Chloroplast genome map of Oxytropis pseudorosea Figure 1 presents the chloroplast genome map of A. nuratensis only. Since the manuscript reports two newly sequenced plastomes, I would recommend including a corresponding genome map of O. pseudorosea as well, either as an additional panel in Figure 1 or as a separate figure. This would provide a more balanced presentation of the two genomes. 3. Discrepancy in gene counts between Figure 1 and the text The main text states that both genomes encode 76 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes (110 unique genes total). However, the annotation within Figure 1 indicates "77 genes; 4 rRNAs; 30 tRNAs" for A. nuratensis . Please verify and reconcile these numbers to ensure consistency between the figure and the text. 4. Assembly validation metrics The authors report mapping clean reads back to the assembled plastomes using BWA-MEM, which is an appropriate approach. However, the current manuscript reports only the mean sequencing depth. To further support the completeness and accuracy of the assemblies, I would suggest briefly reporting additional validation metrics, such as: (i) whether any gaps or regions of zero coverage were observed, (ii) the minimum and maximum coverage across the genome, and/or (iii) a coverage depth plot provided as supplementary material. These additions would allow readers to better assess the quality of the assembled sequences. 5. Reporting gene loss, pseudogenization, and intron loss in the IRLC context The Introduction appropriately highlights that IRLC plastomes frequently exhibit gene loss or pseudogenization (e.g., rps16, rpl22, infA, accD, ycf4 ) and intron loss (e.g., in clpP, atpF, rpoC1 ). However, the Results section does not describe which of these events, if any, were observed in the two newly sequenced plastomes. Even a brief statement confirming or contrasting the gene/intron content of A. nuratensis and O. pseudorosea with that of other IRLC members would add informative context to the genome descriptions and enhance the value of this report as a genomic resource. Summary This manuscript provides new plastome data for two IRLC species from Central Asia and meets the essential criteria for a Genome Note. The assembly and analytical approaches are technically appropriate. Are the rationale for sequencing the genome and the species significance clearly described? Yes Are the protocols appropriate and is the work technically sound? Yes Are sufficient details of the sequencing and extraction, software used, and materials provided to allow replication by others? Partly Are the datasets clearly presented in a usable and accessible format, and the assembly and annotation available in an appropriate subject-specific repository? Yes Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed. Reviewer Expertise: Plant genomics and bioinformatics I confirm that I have read this submission and believe that I have an appropriate level of expertise to confirm that it is of an acceptable scientific standard, however I have significant reservations, as outlined above.

I would suggest replacing it with one or more widely cited references that originally established this structural model. Response: A more appropriate and widely accepted reference has been added to support the conserved quadripartite structure of angiosperm chloroplast genomes. 2.

Since the manuscript reports two newly sequenced plastomes, I would recommend including a corresponding genome map of O. pseudorosea as well, either as an additional panel in Figure 1 or as a separate figure. This would provide a more balanced presentation of the two genomes. Response: The chloroplast genome map of Oxytropis pseudorosea has been added accordingly to provide balanced visualization of both plastomes. 3. Discrepancy in gene counts between Figure 1 and the text The main text states that both genomes encode 76 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes (110 unique genes total). However, the annotation within Figure 1 indicates "77 genes; 4 rRNAs; 30 tRNAs" for A. nuratensis. Please verify and reconcile these numbers to ensure consistency between the figure and the text. Response: The gene annotation has been carefully checked, and inconsistencies between the figure and the text have been corrected to ensure full consistency. 4. Assembly validation metrics The authors report mapping clean reads back to the assembled plastomes using BWA-MEM, which is an appropriate approach. However, the current manuscript reports only the mean sequencing depth. To further support the completeness and accuracy of the assemblies, I would suggest briefly reporting additional validation metrics, such as: (i) whether any gaps or regions of zero coverage were observed, (ii) the minimum and maximum coverage across the genome, and/or (iii) a coverage depth plot provided as supplementary material. These additions would allow readers to better assess the quality of the assembled sequences. Response: Additional assembly validation metrics have been included, including minimum and maximum coverage values, assessment of zero-coverage regions, and a coverage depth plot provided as Figure 1. 5.

These additions would allow readers to better assess the quality of the assembled sequences. Response: Additional assembly validation metrics have been included, including minimum and maximum coverage values, assessment of zero-coverage regions, and a coverage depth plot provided as Figure 1. 5. Reporting gene loss, pseudogenization, and intron loss in the IRLC context The Introduction appropriately highlights that IRLC plastomes frequently exhibit gene loss or pseudogenization (e.g., rps16, rpl22, infA, accD, ycf4) and intron loss (e.g., in clpP, atpF, rpoC1). However, the Results section does not describe which of these events, if any, were observed in the two newly sequenced plastomes. Even a brief statement confirming or contrasting the gene/intron content of A. nuratensis and O. pseudorosea with that of other IRLC members would add informative context to the genome descriptions and enhance the value of this report as a genomic resource. Response: A brief description of gene content and intron structure has been added to the Results comparison with typical IRLC characteristics.

Continue reading Reviewer 2 We sincerely thank the reviewer for the careful evaluation of our manuscript and for the constructive comments, which have helped improve the clarity and quality of the study. Below we provide point-by-point responses. 1. Citation for the conserved quadripartite structure of chloroplast genomes In the Introduction, the conserved quadripartite structure of angiosperm chloroplast genomes is cited as (Karimov et al. 2025). However, this is a well-established and broadly recognized feature of plastome architecture that has been described in numerous foundational works. The cited reference reports chloroplast genomes of Cousinia (Asteraceae) species and, while a valuable study in its own right, does not serve as a primary or representative source for this general statement. I would suggest replacing it with one or more widely cited references that originally established this structural model. Response: A more appropriate and widely accepted reference has been added to support the conserved quadripartite structure of angiosperm chloroplast genomes. 2. Chloroplast genome map of Oxytropis pseudorosea Figure 1 presents the chloroplast genome map of A. nuratensis only. Since the manuscript reports two newly sequenced plastomes, I would recommend including a corresponding genome map of O. pseudorosea as well, either as an additional panel in Figure 1 or as a separate figure. This would provide a more balanced presentation of the two genomes. Response: The chloroplast genome map of Oxytropis pseudorosea has been added accordingly to provide balanced visualization of both plastomes. 3. Discrepancy in gene counts between Figure 1 and the text The main text states that both genomes encode 76 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes (110 unique genes total). However, the annotation within Figure 1 indicates "77 genes; 4 rRNAs; 30 tRNAs" for A. nuratensis. Please verify and reconcile these numbers to ensure consistency between the figure and the text. Response: The gene annotation has been carefully checked, and inconsistencies between the figure and the text have been corrected to ensure full consistency. 4. Assembly validation metrics The authors report mapping clean reads back to the assembled plastomes using BWA-MEM, which is an appropriate approach. However, the current manuscript reports only the mean sequencing depth. To further support the completeness and accuracy of the assemblies, I would suggest briefly reporting additional validation metrics, such as: (i) whether any gaps or regions of zero coverage were observed, (ii) the minimum and maximum coverage across the genome, and/or (iii) a coverage depth plot provided as supplementary material.

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions Dear Authors, Thank you for reporting the complete chloroplast genomes of Astragalus nuratensis and Oxytropis pseudorosea . The addition of new plastome resources for Astragalus and Oxytropis—two of the largest and most taxonomically challenging genera in the inverted repeat–lacking clade (IRLC)—is a welcome contribution, particularly given the ongoing interest in plastome evolution within this clade. Below I offer several suggestions that I believe would strengthen the manuscript. 1. Citation for the conserved quadripartite structure of chloroplast genomes In the Introduction, the conserved quadripartite structure of angiosperm chloroplast genomes is cited as (Karimov et al. 2025). However, this is a well-established and broadly recognized feature of plastome architecture that has been described in numerous foundational works. The cited reference reports chloroplast genomes of Cousinia (Asteraceae) species and, while a valuable study in its own right, does not serve as a primary or representative source for this general statement. I would suggest replacing it with one or more widely cited references that originally established this structural model. 2. Chloroplast genome map of Oxytropis pseudorosea Figure 1 presents the chloroplast genome map of A. nuratensis only. Since the manuscript reports two newly sequenced plastomes, I would recommend including a corresponding genome map of O. pseudorosea as well, either as an additional panel in Figure 1 or as a separate figure. This would provide a more balanced presentation of the two genomes. 3. Discrepancy in gene counts between Figure 1 and the text The main text states that both genomes encode 76 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes (110 unique genes total). However, the annotation within Figure 1 indicates "77 genes; 4 rRNAs; 30 tRNAs" for A. nuratensis . Please verify and reconcile these numbers to ensure consistency between the figure and the text. 4. Assembly validation metrics The authors report mapping clean reads back to the assembled plastomes using BWA-MEM, which is an appropriate approach. However, the current manuscript reports only the mean sequencing depth. To further support the completeness and accuracy of the assemblies, I would suggest briefly reporting additional validation metrics, such as: (i) whether any gaps or regions of zero coverage were observed, (ii) the minimum and maximum coverage across the genome, and/or (iii) a coverage depth plot provided as supplementary material. These additions would allow readers to better assess the quality of the assembled sequences. 5. Reporting gene loss, pseudogenization, and intron loss in the IRLC context The Introduction appropriately highlights that IRLC plastomes frequently exhibit gene loss or pseudogenization (e.g., rps16, rpl22, infA, accD, ycf4 ) and intron loss (e.g., in clpP, atpF, rpoC1 ). However, the Results section does not describe which of these events, if any, were observed in the two newly sequenced plastomes. Even a brief statement confirming or contrasting the gene/intron content of A. nuratensis and O. pseudorosea with that of other IRLC members would add informative context to the genome descriptions and enhance the value of this report as a genomic resource. Summary This manuscript provides new plastome data for two IRLC species from Central Asia and meets the essential criteria for a Genome Note. The assembly and analytical approaches are technically appropriate. Are the rationale for sequencing the genome and the species significance clearly described? Yes Are the protocols appropriate and is the work technically sound? Yes Are sufficient details of the sequencing and extraction, software used, and materials provided to allow replication by others? Partly Are the datasets clearly presented in a usable and accessible format, and the assembly and annotation available in an appropriate subject-specific repository? Yes Competing Interests No competing interests were disclosed. Reviewer Expertise Plant genomics and bioinformatics I confirm that I have read this submission and believe that I have an appropriate level of expertise to confirm that it is of an acceptable scientific standard, however I have significant reservations, as outlined above. reply Respond to this report Responses (1) Author Response 14 May 2026 Bobur Karimov, Institute of Botany, Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Uzbekistan Reviewer 2 We sincerely thank the reviewer for the careful evaluation of our manuscript and for the constructive comments, which have helped improve the clarity and quality of the study. Below we provide point-by-point responses. 1. Citation for the conserved quadripartite structure of chloroplast genomes In the Introduction, the conserved quadripartite structure of angiosperm chloroplast genomes is cited as (Karimov et al. 2025). However, this is a well-established and broadly recognized feature of plastome architecture that has been described in numerous foundational works. The cited reference reports chloroplast genomes of Cousinia (Asteraceae) species and, while a valuable study in its own right, does not serve as a primary or representative source for this general statement. I would suggest replacing it with one or more widely cited references that originally established this structural model. Response: A more appropriate and widely accepted reference has been added to support the conserved quadripartite structure of angiosperm chloroplast genomes. 2. Chloroplast genome map of Oxytropis pseudorosea Figure 1 presents the chloroplast genome map of A. nuratensis only. Since the manuscript reports two newly sequenced plastomes, I would recommend including a corresponding genome map of O. pseudorosea as well, either as an additional panel in Figure 1 or as a separate figure. This would provide a more balanced presentation of the two genomes. Response: The chloroplast genome map of Oxytropis pseudorosea has been added accordingly to provide balanced visualization of both plastomes. 3. Discrepancy in gene counts between Figure 1 and the text The main text states that both genomes encode 76 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes (110 unique genes total). However, the annotation within Figure 1 indicates "77 genes; 4 rRNAs; 30 tRNAs" for A. nuratensis. Please verify and reconcile these numbers to ensure consistency between the figure and the text. Response: The gene annotation has been carefully checked, and inconsistencies between the figure and the text have been corrected to ensure full consistency. 4. Assembly validation metrics The authors report mapping clean reads back to the assembled plastomes using BWA-MEM, which is an appropriate approach. However, the current manuscript reports only the mean sequencing depth. To further support the completeness and accuracy of the assemblies, I would suggest briefly reporting additional validation metrics, such as: (i) whether any gaps or regions of zero coverage were observed, (ii) the minimum and maximum coverage across the genome, and/or (iii) a coverage depth plot provided as supplementary material. These additions would allow readers to better assess the quality of the assembled sequences. Response: Additional assembly validation metrics have been included, including minimum and maximum coverage values, assessment of zero-coverage regions, and a coverage depth plot provided as Figure 1. 5. Reporting gene loss, pseudogenization, and intron loss in the IRLC context The Introduction appropriately highlights that IRLC plastomes frequently exhibit gene loss or pseudogenization (e.g., rps16, rpl22, infA, accD, ycf4) and intron loss (e.g., in clpP, atpF, rpoC1). However, the Results section does not describe which of these events, if any, were observed in the two newly sequenced plastomes. Even a brief statement confirming or contrasting the gene/intron content of A. nuratensis and O. pseudorosea with that of other IRLC members would add informative context to the genome descriptions and enhance the value of this report as a genomic resource. Response: A brief description of gene content and intron structure has been added to the Results comparison with typical IRLC characteristics.
