- The study analyzes the chloroplast genomes of Phalaenopsis storbatiana and P. wilsonii to clarify their taxonomy and phylogeny due to overlapping morphological features.
- Both genomes exhibited a typical quadripartite structure and shared several genes, revealing consistent genomic characteristics and some structural variations compared to other related species.
- Phylogenetic analysis affirmed that these species are part of a monophyletic clade in the tribe Vandeae, enhancing the understanding of their evolutionary relationships.
