Phylogenomic Analyses and DNA Barcoding Development Within Moraceae: Insights Into Genomic Features, Mutational Hotspots, and Adaptive Evolution.

ABSTRACT: Moraceae, with its seven tribes, 45 genera, and approximately 1200 species, is of significant value in food, medicine, ecological restoration, and as a source of industrial raw materials. However, determination of the taxonomy and phylogeny of Moraceae species remains challenging due to their diverse morphological features. To address this issue, we sequenced seven complete plastomes and analyzed online datasets for 46 other species at the tribal level within Moraceae. Our analysis revealed that all the plastomes within this family had a typical quadripartite structure and ranged from 158,459 to 162,594 bp in length. Comparative plastome analyses revealed 10 highly variable regions (ndhF-rpl32, rps4-trnT, rps15-ycf1, trnC-petN, ycf
