Chloroplast genome of four Amorphophallus species: genomic features,comparative analysis, and phylogenetic relationships among Amorphophallus species.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The genus Amorphophallus (Araceae) contains approximately 250 species, most of which have high ecological and economic significance. The chloroplast genome data and the comprehensive analysis of the chloroplast genome structure of Amorphophallus is limited. In this study, four chloroplast genomes of Amorphophallus were sequenced and assembled. For the first time, comparative analyses of chloroplast genomes were conducted on the 13 Amorphophallus species in conjunction with nine published sequences.

Results

The Amorphophallus chloroplast genomes exhibited typical quadripartite structures with lengths ranging from 164,417 to 177,076 bp. These structures consisted of a large single copy (LSC, 90,705 - 98,561 bp), a small single copy (SSC, 14,172 - 21,575 bp), and a p
