Insight into chloroplast genome structural variation of the Mongolian endemic species Adonis mongolica (Ranunculaceae) in the Adonideae tribe.

ABSTRACT: Adonis mongolica is a threatened species that is endemic to Mongolia. It is a medicinal plant from the Adonis genus and has been used to treat heart diseases. However, the genomics and evolution of this species have not been thoroughly studied. We sequenced the first complete plastome of A. mongolica and compared it with ten Adonideae species to describe the plastome structure and infer phylogenetic relationships. The complete plastome of A. mongolica was 157,521 bp long and had a typical quadripartite structure with numerous divergent regions. The plastomes of Adonideae had relatively constant genome structures and sizes, except for those of Adonis. The plastome structure was consistent across Adonis. We identified a 44.8 kb large-scale inversion within the large single-copy region and rp
