Kazakhstan tulips: comparative analysis of complete chloroplast genomes of four local and endangered species of the genus Tulipa L.

ABSTRACT: Species of Tulipa are important ornamental plants used for horticultural purposes in various countries, across Asia, Europe, and North Africa. The present study is the first report on typical features of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of four local and endangered species including T. alberti, T. kaufmanniana, T. greigii, and T. dubia from Kazakhstan using Illumina sequencing technology. The comparative analyses revealed that the complete genomes of four species were highly conserved in terms of total genome size (152. 006 bp - 152. 382 bp), including a pair of inverted repeat regions (26. 330 bp - 26. 371 bp), separated by a large single copy region (82.169 bp - 82,378 bp) and a small copy region (17.172 bp -17.260 bp). Total GC content (36.58-36.62 %), gene
