Comparative Plastome Analysis of Three Amaryllidaceae Subfamilies: Insights into Variation of Genome Characteristics, Phylogeny, and Adaptive Evolution.

ABSTRACT: In the latest APG IV classification system, Amaryllidaceae is placed under the order of Asparagus and includes three subfamilies: Agapanthoideae, Allioideae, and Amaryllidoideae, which include many economically important crops. With the development of molecular phylogeny, research on the phylogenetic relationship of Amaryllidaceae has become more convenient. However, the current comparative analysis of Amaryllidaceae at the whole chloroplast genome level is still lacking. In this study, we sequenced 18 Allioideae plastomes and combined them with publicly available data (a total of 41 plastomes), including 21 Allioideae species, 1 Agapanthoideae species, 14 Amaryllidoideae species, and 5 Asparagaceae species. Comparative analyses were performed including basic characteristics of genome stru
