Characterization of the plastome of Physaliscordata and comparative analysis of eight species of Physalis sensu stricto.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the plastome of Physaliscordata Mill. and compared it with seven species of the genus Physalis sensu stricto. Sequencing, annotating, and comparing plastomes allow us to understand the evolutionary mechanisms associated with physiological functions, select possible molecular markers, and identify the types of selection that have acted in different regions of the genome. The plastome of P.cordata is 157,000 bp long and presents the typical quadripartite structure with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87,267 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,501 bp, which are separated by two inverted repeat (IRs) regions of 25,616 bp each. These values are similar to those found in the other species, except for
