Coping with alpine habitats:genomic insights into the adaptation strategies of Triplostegia glandulifera(Caprifoliaceae)

How plants find a way to thrive in alpine habitats remains largely unknown.Here we present a chromosome-level genome assembly for an alpine medicinal herb,Triplostegia glandulifera(Caprifoliaceae),and 13 transcriptomes from other species of Dipsacales.We detected a whole-genome duplication event in T.glandulifera that occurred prior to the diversification of Dipsacales.Preferential gene retention after whole-genome duplication was found to contribute to increasing cold-related genes in T.glandulifera.A series of genes putatively associated with alpine adaptation(e.g.CBFs,ERF-Ⅶs,and RAD51C)exhibited higher expression levels in T.glandulifera than in its low-elevation relative,Lonicera japonica.Comparative genomic analysis among five pairs of high-vs low-elevation species,including a comparison of T.glandulifera and L.japonica,indicated that the gene families related to disease resistance experienced a significantly convergent contraction in alpine plants compared with their lowland relatives.The reduction in gene repertory size was largely concentrated in clades of genes for pathogen recognition(e.g.CNLs,prRLPs,and Ⅻ RLKs),while the clades for signal transduction and development remained nearly unchanged.This finding reflects an energy-saving strategy for survival in hostile alpine areas,where there is a tradeoff with less challenge from pathogens and limited resources for growth.We also identified candidate genes for alpine adaptation(e.g.RAD1,DMC1,and MSH3)that were under convergent positive selection or that exhibited a convergent acceleration in evolutionary rate in the investigated alpine plants.Overall,our study provides novel insights into the high-elevation adaptation strategies of this and other alpine plants.
