Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of the First Complete Chloroplast Genome of Shizhenia pinguicula (Orchidaceae: Orchideae).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Genomic analysis is crucial for better understanding the evolutionary history of species and for their conservation. Shizhenia pinguicula is a rare medicinal plant endemic to China. However, the complete chloroplast genome of this species has not been reported to date. Insufficient genomic research on S. pinguicula has hindered effective conservation efforts for this valuable plant.

Methods

In this study, we sequenced and assembled the first complete chloroplast genome of S. pinguicula using Illumina sequencing technology. We conducted a comparative analysis of its chloroplast genome with related species and reconstructed phylogenetic relationships.

Results

The chloroplast genome of S. pinguicula exhibited a typical quadripartite
