Cytoplasmic DNA in Actinidia

The Kiwifruit Genome

Part of the book series: Compendium of Plant Genomes ((CPG))

Abstract

Plants have three genomes in their cells: the nuclear genome, the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA), and the chloroplast genome (cpDNA). They replicate independently on cell division and independently of the DNA located in the nucleus. There are few mitochondrion genome sequences until now owing to high structure variation and abundant repeat sequences found in the mitochondrion genome when compared to chloroplast genome. In this chapter, we outline some general features of the complete chloroplast genome sequences of Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis and Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa obtained through de novo assembly of Illumina paired-end reads and produced by total DNA sequencing. The cp genomes share the typical quadripartite cp structure, with a pair of inverted repeats each separated by a small-single-copy region and a large-single-copy region. Gene content is typical for the plastomes of dicotyledonous angiosperms. In Actinidia, only mitochondria are inherited from the mother, while chloroplasts are inherited from the father, with very rare cases of maternal or biparental inheritance. These patterns of inheritance allow interspecies relationships within the genus Actinidia to be investigated using mt and cp DNA sequences.
