Comparison of Chloroplast Genome Sequences of <i>Saxifraga umbellulata</i> var. <i>pectinata</i> in Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Saxifraga umbellulata var. pectinata (Saxifragaceae) is recognized as a genuine medicinal material from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China. This paper presents the chloroplast (cp) genome of S. umbellulata var. pectinata, marking the first report for this genus. The Tibetan medicinal plants documented in 'Chinese Medicinal Plant Resources' are associated with their chloroplast genomes and medicinal mechanisms.

Objective

In order to resolve any potential ambiguity in conventional classifications, this study reconstructs the evolutionary position of S. umbellulata var. pectinata within the genus by comparing its chloroplast genetic information with that of other groupings.

Methods

The chloroplast genome of S. umbel
