AI Article Synopsis

  • The research focuses on a unique genus in the Crassulaceae family, whose relationship within the family is still uncertain.
  • The study provides a detailed sequence of the chloroplast genome, which measures 149,860 base pairs and includes specific regions with distinct functions.
  • Phylogenetic analysis indicates that this genus is most closely related to two other genera within the Crassulaceae family.

Article Abstract

is a monotypic genus of Crassulaceae, though its phylogenetic position remains unclear. Here, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of using the Illumina high-throughput sequencing approach. The cp genome was 149,860 bp in length, containing a large single copy (LSC) of 82,293 bp and a small single copy (SSC) of 16,879 bp, which were separated by a pair of 25,344 bp inverted repeats (IRs). The overall GC content of the cp genome was 37.6%. A total of 113 unique genes were annotated, consisting of 79 protein coding genes (PCGs), 30 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and four ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs). Among these genes, eighteen contained one or two introns. A maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis based on 30 accessions of Crassulaceae showed that was most closely related to and .
