Twelve newly assembled jasmine chloroplast genomes: unveiling genomic diversity, phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary patterns among Oleaceae and Jasminum species.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Jasmine (Jasminum), renowned for its ornamental value and captivating fragrance, has given rise to numerous species and accessions. However, limited knowledge exists regarding the evolutionary relationships among various Jasminum species.

Results

In the present study, we sequenced seven distinct Jasminum species, resulting in the assembly of twelve high-quality complete chloroplast (cp) genomes. Our findings revealed that the size of the 12 cp genomes ranged from 159 to 165 kb and encoded 134-135 genes, including 86-88 protein-coding genes, 38-40 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. J. nudiflorum exhibited a larger genome size compared to other species, mainly attributed to the elevated number of forward repeats (FRs). Despite the typically conservative nature of chlorop
