TL;DR
Phylogenetic analysis of protein-coding genes from 20 congeneric species robustly placed Amorphophallus myosuroides in a clade with A. titanum and A. paeoniifolius within the Southeast Asian lineage, clarifies its evolutionary relationships and provides data for studies on speciation, morphology, taxonomy, and biogeography in Amorphophallus.
Abstract
Abstract The genus Amorphophallus exhibits high species diversity but poorly resolved phylogeny due to phenotypic plasticity and convergence. Amorphophallus myosuroides, with unique silvery leaf markings, lacked complete plastome data, leaving its phylogenetic placement uncertain. We sequenced and assembled its first chloroplast genome using PacBio HiFi sequencing. The circular genome is 171,894 bp in length contains 128 genes, including the trans-splicing gene rps12. Phylogenetic analysis of protein-coding genes from 20 congeneric species robustly placed it in a clade with A. titanum and A. paeoniifolius within the Southeast Asian lineage. This clarifies its evolutionary relationships and provides data for studies on speciation, morphology, taxonomy, and biogeography in Amorphophallus.
Abstract Amorphophallus mossambicensis (Schott ex Garcke) N.E.Br 1901, distributed from Tanzania to southern Africa in arid shrubland and deserts, had its complete chloroplast genome assembled to resolve its phylogenetic position. The genome was 168,728 bp, comprising LSC (90,388 bp), SSC (14,572 bp), two IRs (31,884 b...

Abstract This study first reported the complete chloroplast genome of Thalictrum przewalskii Maxim. and analyzed its structure and phylogeny. This circular double-stranded genome is 155,922 bp long with a GC content of 38.4%, containing an 85,347 bp LSC region, a 17,613 bp SSC region, and two 26,481 bp IR regions. A to...

Abstract Historically, the taxonomic classification and phylogenetic position of Sclerophytum querciforme, which is primarily delineated by morphological characteristics, have long remained controversial and undergone repeated revisions. In this study, we sequenced and systematically analyzed the complete mitochondrial...

Abstract Heterostemma pingtaoi, a species endemic to Hainan Island, China, was discovered and formally described in the family Apocynaceae in 2010. However, genetic and evolutionary information on the genus Heterostemma remains poorly understood. Here, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of H. pingt...

Abstract The species Hierococcyx sparverioides belongs to the order Cuculiformes, family Cuculidae. We present the first complete mitochondrial genome of H. sparverioides (17,264 bp; GenBank PX733929), comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a control region, with a structure similar to other Cuculid...
