Cold Resistance of Euonymus japonicus Beihaidao Leaves and Its Chloroplast Genome Structure and Comparison with Celastraceae Species.

ABSTRACT: Euonymus japonicus Beihaidao is one of the most economically important ornamental species of the Euonymus genus. There are approximately 97 genera and 1194 species of plants worldwide in this family (Celastraceae). Using E. japonicus Beihaidao, we conducted a preliminary study of the cold resistance of this species, evaluated its performance during winter, assembled and annotated its chloroplast genome, and performed a series of analyses to investigate its gene structure GC content, sequence alignment, and nucleic acid diversity. Our objectives were to understand the evolutionary relationships of the genus and to identify positive selection genes that may be related to adaptations to environmental change. The results indicated that E. japonicus Beihaidao leaves
