is naturally distributed in Southern China, which is an elite natural tree with high edible and medicinal value. In this study, whole chloroplast (cp) genome of was assembled and characterized on the basis of Illumina pair-end sequencing data. The complete cp genome was 156,417 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,607 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,164 bp, which were separated by a pair of 26,323 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). The genome contained 128 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 35 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content is 36.32%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions were 33.98, 29.45, and 42.48%, respectively. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed a strong sister relationship with . These findings provide a foundation for further investigation of cp genome evolution in and other higher plants.

Background: The St-genome-sharing taxa are highly complex group of the species with the St nuclear genome and monophyletic origin in maternal lineages within the Triticeae, which contains more than half of polyploid species that distributed in a wide range of ecological habitats. While high level of genetic heterogeneity in plastome DNA due to a reticulate evolutionary event has been considered to link with the richness of the St-genome-sharing taxa, the relationship between the dynamics of diversification and molecular evolution is lack of understanding.
Results: Here, integrating 106 previously and 12 newly sequenced plastomes representing almost all previously recognized genomic types and genus of the Triticeae, this study applies phylogenetic reconstruction methods in combination with lineage diversification analyses, estimate of sequence evolution, and gene expression to investigate the dynamics of diversification in the tribe.
