Complete chloroplast genome of Lilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss and its comparative analysis: lights into selective pressure and adaptive evolution.

ABSTRACT: Lilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss is a rare species, which exhibits valuable traits. However, before its genetic diversity and evolutionary were uncovered, its wild resources were jeopardized. Moreover, some ambiguities in phylogenetic relationships of this genus remain unresolved. Therefore, obtaining the whole chloroplast sequences of L. ledebourii and its comparative analysis along with other Lilium species is crucial and pivotal to understanding the evolution of this genus as well as the genetic populations. A multi-scale genome-level analysis, especially selection pressure, was conducted. Detailed third‑generation sequencing and analysis revealed a whole chloroplast genome of 151,884 bp, with an ordinary quadripartite and protected structure comprising 37.0% GC. Overall, 113 different g
