Rubus chingii and R. chingii var. suavissimus are unique dual-purpose plant resources, with significant nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and economic value, as well as promising prospects for further development. To investigate the genetic structure and evolutionary characteristics of these two varieties, this study conducted plastome sequencing using the Illumina HiSeq XTen sequencing platform. Subsequently, the study performed assembly, annotation, and characterization of the genomes, followed by a comparative plastome and phylogenetic analysis using bioinformatics techniques. The results revealed that the plastomes of R. chingii and R. chingii var. suavissimus exhibited a tetrad structure, comprising a large single-copy region(LSC), a small single-copy region(SSC), and two inverted repeat regions(IRs). The study identified a total of 56 simple sequence repeats(SSRs) after comparative analysis, predominantly consisting of A and T. Furthermore, the structure of the IR boundary genes in both varieties was found to be highly conserved, with only minor nucleotide variations. Additionally, the study identified three highly variable regions: rps16-trnQ-psbK, trnR-atpA, and trnT-trnL, which held promise as potential identification marks for further development and utilization. Phylogenetic analysis results obtained by the maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods demonstrated a close clustering of R. chingii and R. chingii var. suavissimus(100% support), with their closest relatives being R. trianthus. This study, focusing on plastome-level genetic distinctions between these two varieties, lays a foundation for future species protection, development, and utilization.
