Comparative Chloroplast Genomics of Sophora Species: Evolution and Phylogenetic Relationships in the Early-Diverging Legume Subfamily Papilionoideae (Fabaceae).

ABSTRACT: The taxonomy and evolutionary history of Sophora L., a genus with high economic and medicinal value, remain uncertain due to the absence of genetic resource (especially in China) and low polymorphism of molecular markers. Our aim was to elucidate the molecular evolution and phylogenetic relationships in chloroplast genomes of Sophora species in the early-diverging legume subfamily Papilionoideae (Fabaceae). We reported nine Sophora chloroplast genome from China using Illumina sequencing. We performed a series of analyses with previously published genomes of Sophora species to investigate their genomic characteristics, identified simple sequence repeats, large repeat sequences, tandem repeats, and highly polymorphic loci. The genomes were 152,953-158,087 bp in le
