Genome size estimation, chloroplast genome characterization, and comparative analysis of Opuntia ficus-indica and O. pubescens reveal phylogenetic relationships within the genus Opuntia
The genus Opuntia has great ecological and socioeconomic relevance, but its chloroplast genomes exhibit high evolutionary dynamism that generates phylogenetic inconsistencies. This study estimates the genome size and compared the complete chloroplast genomes of O. ficus-indica and O. pubescens to clarify their structur...
