Complete plastome sequencing of both living species of Circaeasteraceae (Ranunculales) reveals unusual rearrangements and the loss of the ndh gene family.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Among the 13 families of early-diverging eudicots, only Circaeasteraceae (Ranunculales), which consists of the two monotypic genera Circaeaster and Kingdonia, lacks a published complete plastome sequence. In addition, the phylogenetic position of Circaeasteraceae as sister to Lardizabalaceae has only been weakly or moderately supported in previous studies using smaller data sets. Moreover, previous plastome studies have documented a number of novel structural rearrangements among early-divergent eudicots. Hence it is important to sequence plastomes from Circaeasteraceae to better understand plastome evolution in early-diverging eudicots and to further investigate the phylogenetic position of Circaeasteraceae.
