Complete Chloroplast Genomes and the Phylogenetic Analysis of Three Native Species of Paeoniaceae from the Sino-Himalayan Flora Subkingdom.

ABSTRACT: Paeonia delavayi var. lutea, Paeonia delavayi var. angustiloba, and Paeonia ludlowii are Chinese endemics that belong to the Paeoniaceae family and have vital medicinal and ornamental value. It is often difficult to classify Paeoniaceae plants based on their morphological characteristics, and the limited genomic information has strongly hindered molecular evolution and phylogenetic studies of Paeoniaceae. In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the chloroplast genomes of P. delavayi var. lutea, P. delavayi var. angustiloba, and P. ludlowii. The chloroplast genomes of these strains were comparatively analyzed, and their phylogenetic relationships and divergence times were inferred. These three chloroplast ge
