Mast var. Hsüeh, a typical plant species of extremely small population, is faced to be endangered. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of var. has been assembled and annotated for the first time in this study. The complete genome in length was found to be 117,139 bp. The genome annotation revealed a total of 118 genes, including 34 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 4 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 80 protein-coding genes. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree supported that var. , , , and are clustered in one branch. This complete chloroplast genome helped us to understand the evolution of var. . These results laid the foundation for future studies on the conservation of this species.
血皮槭变种,一种典型的极小种群植物物种,面临濒危。本研究首次组装并注释了血皮槭变种的完整叶绿体(cp)基因组。发现完整基因组长度为117,139 bp。基因组注释共揭示了118个基因,包括34个转运RNA(tRNA)基因、4个核糖体RNA(rRNA)基因和80个蛋白质编码基因。最大似然系统发育树支持血皮槭变种、、和聚类在一个分支中。这个完整的叶绿体基因组有助于我们了解血皮槭变种的进化。这些结果为该物种未来的保护研究奠定了基础。
