Characterization of the Plastid Genomes of Four Caroxylon Thunb. Species from Kazakhstan.

ABSTRACT: The family Chenopodiaceae Vent. (Amaranthaceae s.l.) is known for its taxonomic complexity, comprising species of significant economic and ecological importance. Despite its significance, the availability of plastid genome data for this family remains limited. This study involved assembling and characterizing the complete plastid genomes of four Caroxylon Thunb. species within the tribe Salsoleae s.l., utilizing next-generation sequencing technology. We compared genome features, nucleotide diversity, and repeat sequences and conducted a phylogenetic analysis of ten Salsoleae s.l. species. The size of the plastid genome varied among four Caroxylon species, ranging from 150,777 bp (C. nitrarium) to 151,307 bp (C. orientale). Each studied plast
