Comparative and phylogenetic analysis of complete chloroplast genomes from seven Neocinnamomum taxa (Lauraceae).

ABSTRACT: The genus Neocinnamomum is considered to be one of the most enigmatic groups in Lauraceae, mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia. The genus contains valuable oilseed and medicinal tree species. However, there are few studies on the genus Neocinnamomum at present, and its interspecific relationship is still unclear. In order to explore the genetic structure and evolutionary characteristics of the Neocinnamomum chloroplast genome and to resolve the species relationships within the genus, comparative genomic and phylogenetic analyses were performed on the whole chloroplast genome sequences of 51 samples representing seven Neocinnamomum taxa. The whole Neocinnamomum chloroplast genome size ranged from 150,753-150,956 bp, wit
