Comparative and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Complete Chloroplast Genomes of Three Paeonia Section Moutan Species (Paeoniaceae).

ABSTRACT: Analysis of the relationships among wild species of section Moutan in the plant genus Paeonia has traditionally been problematic. Interspecies relationships cannot be effectively determined using phenotypic traits alone or through analysis of nuclear or chloroplast DNA fragments. Elucidation of complete chloroplast genome sequences will aid the identification and phylogeny of these species. In this study, the complete chloroplast genomes of three sect. Moutan plants were sequenced and analyzed. Comparative and phylogenetic analyses of the complete chloroplast genomes of all eight species of sect. Moutan were then conducted. The three complete chloroplast genomes gained in this study showed four-part annular structures, and the genome length, structure, GC conten
