Comparative chloroplast genomics, phylogenetic relationships and molecular markers development of Aglaonema commutatum and seven green cultivars of Aglaonema.

ABSTRACT: Aglaonema commutatum is a famous species in the Aglaonema genus, which has important ornamental and economic value. However, its chloroplast genome information and phylogenetic relationships among popular green cultivars of Aglaonema in southern China have not been reported. Herein, chloroplast genomes of one variety of A. commutatum and seven green cultivars of Aglaonema, namely, A. commutatum 'San Remo', 'Kai Sa', 'Pattaya Beauty', 'Sapphire', 'Silver Queen', 'Snow White', 'White Gem', and 'White Horse Prince', were sequenced and assembled for comparative analysis and phylogeny. These eight genomes possessed a typical quadripartite structure that consisted of a LSC region (90,799-91,486 bp), an SSC region (20,508-21,137 bp) and a pair of IR regions (26,661-26,750 bp). Each genome contain
