Abstract
We de novo assembled and analysed the chloroplast genomes of Capsella bursa-pastoris, Descurainia sophia, and Lepidium apetalum of the plant family Brassicaceae. These chloroplast genomes exhibited a quadripartite structure characterised by inverted repeat regions (26,268–26,460 bp) separating large single copy (83,771–83,870 bp) and small single copy (17,570–18,014 bp) regions. Genetic analysis revealed 112 unique genes, comprising 78 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 4 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Notably, phylogenetic analysis of 21 species revealed close relationships between C. bursa-pastoris and C. orientalis, D. sophia and D. erodiifolia, and L. apetalum and L. cordatum, with 100% bootstrap support. In conclusion, the analysis of these genomes will contribute to the growing knowledge of chloroplast genomes in the Brassicaceae family and of the specific genera Capsella, Descurainia, and Lepidium.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
