Abstract
Dracocephalum is a large genus comprises approximately 80 species of perennial herbs, mainly distributed in high elevation regions of temperate and Central Asia, with about half native to China. Within the genus, D. argunense and D. integrifolium are important herbs with great medicinal value. We sequenced plastomes of these two species for the first time. These plastomes showed a typical quadripartite structure and the length varied from 149,978 bp (D. integrifolium) to 150,802 bp (D. argunense). Plastomes of D. argunense and D. integrifolium included 127 and 133 genes, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses supported the monophyly of the redefined Dracocephalum and systematic relationships within the sampled species were well resolved. Our study added new genetic information about D. argunense and D. integrifolium and has great potential for further diversity studies, phylogenetic studies, and understanding of evolutionary history in Dracocephalum.
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.
