The pan-plastome of Prunus mume: insights into Prunus diversity, phylogeny, and domestication history.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

Prunus mume in the Rosaceae and commonly referred to as mei or Chinese plum is widely used as a traditional ornamental flowering plant and fruit tree in China. Although some population and genetic analyses have been conducted for this species, no extensive comparisons of genetic variation from plastomes have yet been investigated.

Methods

We de novo assembled a total of 322 complete P. mume plastomes in this study and did a series of comparative analyses to better resolve pan-plastomic patterns of P. mume. To determine the phylogeny and domestication history of this species, we reconstructed the phylogenetic tree of Prunus genus, and resolved the population structure of P. mume. We also examined the nucleotide variation o
