Amaryllidaceae is a widespread and distinctive plant family contributing both food and ornamental plants. Here we present an initial survey of plastomes across the family and report on both structural rearrangements and gene losses. Most plastomes in the family are of similar gene arrangement and content however some taxa have shown gains in plastome length while in several taxa there is evidence of gene loss. shows a substantial loss of family genes while three other taxa show loss of , which has been reported only rarely. Our sparse sampling of the family has detected sufficient variation to suggest further sampling across the family could be a rich source of new information on plastome variation and evolution.
石蒜科是一个分布广泛且独特的植物科，包含食用植物和观赏植物。在此，我们展示了对该科植物叶绿体基因组的初步调查，并报告了结构重排和基因丢失情况。该科的大多数叶绿体基因组具有相似的基因排列和内容，但一些分类群的叶绿体基因组长度增加，而在几个分类群中存在基因丢失的证据。 显示该科基因大量丢失，而其他三个分类群显示 丢失，这种情况此前鲜有报道。我们对该科的抽样较少，但已检测到足够的变异，这表明对该科进行进一步抽样可能会获得有关叶绿体基因组变异和进化的丰富新信息。
