The Complete Chloroplast Genomes of Primula obconica Provide Insight That Neither Species nor Natural Section Represent Monophyletic Taxa in Primula (Primulaceae).

ABSTRACT: The genus Primula (Primulaceae) comprises more than 500 species, with 300 species distributed in China. The contradictory results between systematic analyses and morphology-based taxonomy make taxonomy studies difficult. Furthermore, frequent introgression between closely related species of Primula can result in non-monophyletic species. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of sixteen Primula obconica subsp. obconica individuals were assembled and compared with 84 accessions of 74 species from 21 sections of the 24 sections of the genus in China. The plastome sizes of P. obconica subsp. obconica range from 153,584 bp to 154,028 bp. Genome-wide variations were detected, and 1915 high-quality SNPs and 346 InDels were found. Most SNPs were d
