Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome and development of molecular markers of Salix.

ABSTRACT: Salix, an economically and ecologically multifunctional tree species widely distributed in China, encompasses five ornamental species sequenced in this study, which are highly beneficial for plant phytoremediation due to their ability to absorb heavy metals. This research utilized high-throughput sequencing to acquire chloroplast genome sequences of Salix, analyzing their gene composition and structural characteristics, identifying potential molecular markers, and laying a foundation for Salix identification and resource classification. Chloroplast DNA was extracted from the leaves of Salix argyracea, Salix dasyclados, Salix eriocephala, Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki', and Salix suchowensis using an optimized CTAB method. Sequencing was conducted on the Illumina NovaSeq PE150 platform, and
