Structural Variation and Molecular Evolution of Chloroplast Genomes in Five Species of Fagopyrum
In this study,comparative genomics of Fagopyrum chloroplasts was studied using bioinfor-matics methods.The results showed that the chloroplast genome sizes of the five species of Fagopy-rum ranged from 159 265 to 159 599 bp;the GC content ranged from 37.81%to 37.98%,and there was a small difference in the number,type,and copy number of genes;The regional boundaries were basically consistent;The type and number of SSR types were similar;The polymorphism of LSC and SSC in this genus was higher than that in IR region,and the non-coding regions trnS-trnG,rps4-TrnT and rpl32-TrnL were the hot-spot region with the highest variation;Systematic analysis showed that F.leptopodum had the closest genetic relationship with F.tataricum.
