(Cucurbitaceae) is an endemic species native to the Shennongjia forestry district of China, whose plastid genome was reported in this study. The whole genome exhibits the typical quadripartite structure with 156,906 bp in size. A total of 130 genes were identified, containing 85 protein-coding genes (CDS), 37 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic reconstruction based on 83 shared CDS sequences reaffirmed the status of within the Sect. , revealing close relationships with morphologically similar species, and . Our findings will provide a significant foundation for future investigations into the evolution, conservation, and potential utilization of this species.
(葫芦科)是中国神农架林区的特有物种,本研究报道了其质体基因组。整个基因组呈现典型的四分体结构,大小为156,906碱基对。共鉴定出130个基因,包括85个蛋白质编码基因(CDS)、37个tRNA和8个rRNA基因。基于83个共享CDS序列的系统发育重建再次确认了该物种在 组内的地位,揭示了与形态相似物种 和 的密切关系。我们的研究结果将为该物种未来的进化、保护和潜在利用研究提供重要基础。
