The Complete Chloroplast Genome of Meconopsis simplicifolia and Its Genetic Comparison to Other Meconopsis Species.

ABSTRACT: Background: Chloroplasts, due to their high conservation and lack of recombination, serve as important genetic resources for the classification and evolutionary analysis of closely related species that are difficult to distinguish based on their morphological features. Meconopsis simplicifolia (M. simplicifolia), an endangered herb within the Meconopsis genus, has demonstrated therapeutic potential in treating various diseases. However, the highly polymorphic morphology of this species poses a challenge for accurate identification. Methods: In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of M. simplicifolia was sequenced and assembled using Illumina sequencing technology. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and repetitive sequences were characterized. In additi
