The complete chloroplast genome sequences of six Hylotelephium species: Comparative genomic analysis and phylogenetic relationships.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the phylogenetic relationships between Hylotelephium and Orostachys, and to provide important information for further studies, we analyzed the complete chloroplast genomes of six Hylotelephium species and compared the sequences to those of published chloroplast genomes of congeneric species and species of the closely related genus, Orostachys. The total chloroplast genome length of nineteen species, including the six Hylotelephium species analyzed in this study and the thirteen Hylotelephium and Orostachys species analyzed in previous studies, ranged from 150,369 bp (O. minuta) to 151,739 bp (H. spectabile). Their overall GC contents were almost identical (37.7-37.8%). The chloroplast genomes of the nineteen species contained 113 unique genes comprising 79 protein-coding genes
