Comparative chloroplast genomes of Paris Sect. Marmorata: insights into repeat regions and evolutionary implications.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Species of Paris Sect. Marmorata are valuable medicinal plants to synthesize steroidal saponins with effective pharmacological therapy. However, the wild resources of the species are threatened by plundering exploitation before the molecular genetics studies uncover the genomes and evolutionary significance. Thus, the availability of complete chloroplast genome sequences of Sect. Marmorata is necessary and crucial to the understanding the plastome evolution of this section and facilitating future population genetics studies. Here, we determined chloroplast genomes of Sect. Marmorata, and conducted the whole chloroplast genome comparison.

Results

This study presented detailed sequences and structural variations of chloroplast genomes of Sect. Marmorata. Over 40 lar
