AI Article Synopsis
- Marupa is a tropical tree in the Simaroubaceae family, important for its wood and ecological restoration in the Amazon.
- Researchers sequenced its complete chloroplast genome for the first time, revealing a length of 159,838 bp and a total of 131 genes with a classic quadripartite structure.
- The study's phylogenetic analysis confirms Marupa's appropriate position within its family, paving the way for future evolutionary research.
Article Abstract
Marupa ( Aublet 1775) is a tropical tree of the family Simaroubaceae. It is commonly used for its wood in the Amazonian forest, and it is an important species for restoring degraded environments. Yet, very little genetic resources are available to study this plant. In this paper, we sequenced for the first time the complete chloroplast genome of Marupa, using Oxford Nanopore long-read technology. The genome is 159,838 bp, includes 131 genes in total and presents a classic quadripartite structure. Its length and structure are similar to those of sister species of the Simaroubaceae family. A maximum likelihood phylogeny of the order Sapindale reveals that is well positioned in its family. This complete plastome is a first step towards a better analysis of Marupa future evolution.

Background: The genus Impatiens, which includes both annual and perennial herbs, holds considerable ornamental, economic, and medicinal value. However, it posed significant challenges for taxonomic and systematic reconstruction. This was largely attributed to its high intraspecific diversity and low interspecific variation in morphological characteristics.

Background: Pueraria is an edible and medicinal raw material, which is of great value to the pharmaceutical and food industries. Nonetheless, due to morphological diversity and complex domestication history, the classification of Pueraria plants is ambiguous. As the varieties on the market are mixed, the species are difficult to distinguish, and their morphological characteristics are similar to the physical and chemical properties.

Background: Numerous species of Ardisia are widely used for their medicinal and ornamental values in China. However, accurately identifying Ardisia species at the molecular level remains a challenge due to the morphological similarities among different species, the complexity of interspecific variation, and the limited availability of genetic markers. In this study, we reported 20 chloroplast genomes of Ardisia species from China and combined them with 8 previously published chloroplast genomes to conduct a comprehensive analysis for phylogenetic relationships and adaptive evolution.
