Comparative Analysis of Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequences in Edgeworthia (Thymelaeaceae) and New Insights Into Phylogenetic Relationships.

ABSTRACT: The complete chloroplast genomes of three species of Edgeworthia namely, Edgeworthia albiflora, Edgeworthia chrysantha, and Edgeworthia gardneri (Thymelaeaceae), are reported and characterized. The chloroplast genomes displayed a typical quadripartite structure with conserved genome arrangement and specific divergence. The genomes ranged in length from 172,708 to 173,621 bp and displayed similar GC content of 36.5-36.7%. A total of 138-139 genes were predicted, including 92-93 protein-coding, 38 tRNAs and eight rRNAs genes. Variation in the number of short simple repeats and inverted region boundaries of the three cp genomes were observed. A mutational hotspot was detected along the nucleotide sequence from the ndhF to the trnL-UAG genes. The chlor
