Plastome phylogenomics of the East Asian endemic genus Dobinea.

ABSTRACT: Dobinea is a dioecious genus endemic to East Asia that consists of two extant species: Dobinea delavayi and Dobinea vulgaris. Although the genus is morphologically distinct, its phylogenetic position remains controversial. In this study, we investigated the phylogenetic relationships between Dobinea and related taxa by sequencing the whole plastome DNA sequences for both extant species of Dobinea and comparing them to published plastomes within Sapindales. The complete plastomes of D. vulgaris and D. delavayi were 160,683 and 160, 154 base pairs (bp) in length, including a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs, 26,889 and 26,759 bp) divided by the large single-copy region (LSC, 87,962 and 87,555 bp) and small single-copy region (SSC, 18,943 a
