Complete plastome genomes of three medicinal heliotropiaceae species: comparative analyses and phylogenetic relationships.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heliotropiaceae is a family of the order Boraginales and has over 450 species. The members of the family Heliotropiaceae have been widely reported to be used in traditional medicine Over time, the classification of Heliotropiaceae has remained uncertain and has moved from family to subfamily, or conversely.

Results

In the present study, we sequenced, analyzed, and compared the complete plastomes of Euploca strigosa, Heliotropium arbainense, and Heliotropium longiflorum with the genomes of related taxa. The lengths of the plastomes of E. strigosa, H. arbainense, and H. longiflorum were 155,174 bp, 154,709 bp, and 154,496 bp, respectively. Each plastome consisted of 114 genes: 80 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. The long repeat
