Determination of the Phylogenetic Relationship of <i>Dendrobium linawianum</i> (Orchidaceae) Based on Comparative Analysis of Complete Chloroplast Genomes.

ABSTRACT: Dendrobium is an orchid genus with high economic and ecological importance, but its taxonomy based on morphology remains controversial. Dendrobium linawianum, a critically endangered species with both ornamental and medicinal value, represents a key taxon within this genus. However, its phylogenetic relationship has long been unplaced due to similar morphological traits. Despite its conservation and taxonomic importance, its complete chloroplast genome has not been previously characterized. Here, we newly sequenced and assembled the complete chloroplast genome of D. linawianum. The 150,497 bp genome exhibits a typical quadripartite structure, encoding 119 genes. A total of 161 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified, predominantly mononucleotide and dinuc
