A Comprehensive Analysis of Chloroplast Genome Provides New Insights into the Evolution of the Genus Chrysosplenium.

ABSTRACT: Chrysosplenium, a perennial herb in the family Saxifragaceae, prefers to grow in low light and moist environments and is divided into two sections of Alternifolia and Oppositifolia based on phyllotaxy. Although there has been some progress in the phylogeny of Chrysosplenium over the years, the phylogenetic position of some species is still controversial. In this study, we assembled chloroplast genomes (cp genomes) of 34 Chrysosplenium species and performed comparative genomic and phylogenetic analyses in combination with other cp genomes of previously known Chrysosplenium species, for a total of 44 Chrysosplenium species. The comparative analyses revealed that cp genomes of Chrysosplenium species were more conserved in terms of genome
