Conserved genome structure and phylogenetic insights for the heterogeneous subfamily of Convallarioideae (Asparagaceae) revealed from plastome data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Convallarioideae, a subfamily of Asparagaceae, encompasses a wide range of morphologically diverse lineages previously classified under different traditional families and holds significant economic value. Despite its importance, chloroplast genome data for Convallarioideae remain limited, hindering a comprehensive understanding of their genome structural evolution and phylogenetic relationships. This study aims to provide a detailed characterization of chloroplast genome features and to conduct robust phylogenetic analyses of this subfamily using an expanded dataset of chloroplast genomes.

Results

The plastomes of the subfamily exhibit a typical circular quadripartite structure with conserved genomic organization and gene content. However, variations were observed
