A comparative analysis of the complete chloroplast genome sequences of four peanut botanical varieties.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Arachis hypogaea L. is an economically important oilseed crop worldwide comprising six botanical varieties. In this work, we characterized the chloroplast (cp) genome sequences of the four widely distributed peanut varieties.

Methods

The cp genome data of these four botanical varieties (var. hypogaea, var. hirsuta, var. fastigiata, and var. vulgaris) were obtained by next-generation sequencing. These high-throughput sequencing reads were then assembled, annotated, and comparatively analyzed.

Results

The total cp genome lengths of the studied A. hypogaea varieties were 156,354 bp (var. hypogaea), 156,878 bp (var. hirsuta), 156,718 bp (var. fastigiata), and 156,399 bp (var. vulgaris). Compa
