Comparative Analyses of Chloroplast Genomes From 14 Zanthoxylum Species: Identification of Variable DNA Markers and Phylogenetic Relationships Within the Genus.

ABSTRACT: Zanthoxylum L. is an economic crop with a long history of cultivation and domestication and has important economic, ecological, and medicinal value. To solve the classification problems caused by the similar morphological characteristics of Zanthoxylum and establish a credible phylogenetic relationship, we sequenced and annotated six Zanthoxylum chloroplast (cp) genomes (Z. piasezkii, Z. armatum, Z. motuoense, Z. oxyphyllum, Z. multijugum, and Z. calcicola) and combined them with previously published genomes for the Zanthoxylum species. We used bioinformatics methods to analyze the genomic characteristics, contraction, and expansion of inverted repeat (IR) regions; differences in simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and long repeat sequences; species pai
