Plastid phylogenomic insights into the evolution of subfamily Dialioideae (Leguminosae).

ABSTRACT: The subfamily Dialioideae (Leguminosae) consists of 17 genera and about 85 species. Previous studies have detected significant plastid genome (plastome) structure variations in legumes, particularly in subfamilies Papilionoideae and Caesalpinioideae. Hence it is important to investigate plastomes from the newly recognized Dialioideae to better understand the plastome variation across the whole family. Here, we used nine plastomes representing nine genera of Dialioideae to explore plastome structural variation and intergeneric relationships in this subfamily. All plastomes of Dialioideae exhibited a typical quadripartite structure, and had relatively conserved structure compared with other legume subfamilies. However, the genome size ranged from 154,124 bp to 165,973 bp and gene numbers ran
