Plastid Phylogenomic Analyses Reveal the Taxonomic Position of Peucedanum franchetii.

ABSTRACT: Peucedanum franchetii is a famous folk medicinal plant in China. However, the taxonomy of the P. franchetii has not been sufficiently resolved. Due to similar morphological features between P. franchetii and Ligusticopsis members, the World Flora Online (WFO) Plant List suggested that this species transformed into the genus Ligusticopsis and merged with Ligusticopsis likiangensis. However, both species are obviously diverse in leaf shape, bracts, and bracteoles. To check the taxonomic position of P. franchetii, we newly sequenced and assembled the plastome of P. franchetii and compared it with nine other plastomes of the genus Ligusticopsis. Ten plastomes were highly conserved and similar in gene order, codon bias, RNA editing
