Ycf1-ndhF genes, the most promising plastid genomic barcode, sheds light on phylogeny at low taxonomic levels in Prunus persica.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Chloroplast genome sequencing is becoming a valuable process for developing several DNA barcodes. At present, plastid DNA barcode for systematics and evolution in flowering plant rely heavily on the use of non-coding genes. The present study was performed to verify the novelty and suitability of the two hotspot barcode plastid coding gene ycf1 and ndhF, to estimate the rate of molecular evolution in the Prunus genus at low taxonomic levels. RESULTS:Here, 25 chloroplast genomes of Prunus genus were selected for sequences annotation to search for the highly variable coding DNA barcode regions. Among them, 5 genera were of our own data, including the ornamental, cultivated, and wild haplotype, while 20 genera have been downloaded from the GenBank database. The results indicated tha
