Comparative genomics analysis of endangered wild Egyptian Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori plastome, with implications for the evolution of Brassicales order.

ABSTRACT: Moringa is a mono-genus belonging to the Moringaceae family, which includes 13 species. Among them, Moringa peregrina is plant species native to the Arabian Peninsula, Southern Sinai in Egypt, and the Horn of Africa, and comprehensive studies on its nutritional, industrial, and medicinal values have been performed. Herein, we sequenced and analyzed the initial complete chloroplast genome of Moringa peregrina. Concurrently, we analyzed the new chloroplast genome along with 25 chloroplast genomes related to species representing eight families in the Brassicales order. The results indicate that the plastome sequence of M. peregrina consists of 131 genes, with an average GC content of 39.23%. There is a disparity in the IR regions of the 26 species ranging from 25,8
