Comparative analysis of the complete plastomes of nine Pimpinella species (Apiaceae) from China.

ABSTRACT: Pimpinella L. is one of the large genera in the Apiaceae family. In a previous study, the molecular phylogenies of Pimpinella were explored using nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and several chloroplast DNA segments. There have been few studies conducted on chloroplast genomes in Pimpinella, which has limited systematic understanding of this genus. We assembled the complete chloroplast genomes of nine Pimpinella species from China using data generated from next generation sequencing (NGS). The chloroplast (cp) DNA used were standard double-stranded molecules, ranging from 146,432 base pairs (bp) (P. valleculosa) to 165,666 bp (P. purpurea) in length. The circular DNA contained a large single-copy (LSC) region, small single-c
