Comparative Chloroplast Genomics and Codon Usage Bias Analysis in <i>Hevea</i> Genus.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study investigates the cpDNA sequences from six Hevea species, aiming to explore their genomic characteristics, gene content, and genetic relationships. The objectives include understanding the structure of these genomes, identifying potential gene rearrangements, and providing insights into genetic improvement and conservation strategies for the Hevea genus.

Methods

cpDNA sequences from six Hevea species were sequenced and analyzed. Genome sizes, GC content, gene encoding potential, and structural integrity were assessed. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and codon usage were analyzed, with a focus on optimal codons and their frequency. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted to determine the genetic relationships within the Hevea genus.
