Plastome evolution and phylogenomic insights into the evolution of Lysimachia (Primulaceae: Myrsinoideae).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lysimachia L., the second largest genus within the subfamily Myrsinoideae of Primulaceae, comprises approximately 250 species worldwide. China is the species diversity center of Lysimachia, containing approximately 150 species. Despite advances in the backbone phylogeny of Lysimachia, species-level relationships remain poorly understood due to limited genomic information. This study analyzed 50 complete plastomes for 46 Lysimachia species. We aimed to identify the plastome structure features and hypervariable loci of Lysimachia. Additionally, the phylogenetic relationships and phylogenetic conflict signals in Lysimachia were examined.

Results

These fifty plastomes within Lysimachia had the typical quadripartite structure, with lengths varying from 152,691 to 155,7
