Organelle genomes reveal adaptive evolution and phylogenetic position of the endangered <i>Primula mallophylla</i>.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Species of Primula section Proliferae are predominantly distributed in alpine environments above 2,000 meters and represent an important group for studying environmental adaptation and phylogenetic evolution. Primula mallophylla, holds important ecological, ornamental, and conservation value. However, genomic resources for this species remain unavailable, hindering further research on its genetic evolution and conservation strategies.

Methods

In this study, we sequenced and assembled the complete mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes of P. mallophylla for the first time. Comprehensive analyses were conducted on their structural characteristics, repetitive sequences, RNA editing site prediction, codon usage bias, intracellular gene tra
