There are more than 2035 species (Begoniaceae) reported currently in the world. was found as a new species within a small area in Southern China. In this study, we are reporting for the first time its chloroplast genome for the purpose to compare with the chloroplast genomic data from other plant taxa which were closely related to this new species.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the genetic analysis and population structure of cultivated wishbone flower hybrid lines in relation to their wild counterparts to improve breeding strategies.
  • Using the iPBS marker system, researchers genotyped 136 accessions from 15 cultivated lines and 2 wild populations, revealing distinct genetic variation linked to floral color.
  • Results showed that cultivated lines had low genetic variability due to a bottleneck effect, while wild populations exhibited greater genetic diversity, potentially influenced by differing sampling methods.
