| Summary: | In the
family, around 1650 species belonging to 60 genera are widely distributed globally, mainly in the tropical and subtropical regions of America and Asia. Although a series of chloroplast genomes in
were reported and investigated, the evolutionary and genetic relationships among the chloroplast genomes of the
family have not been extensively elucidated till now. In this study, we first reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of
, a widely distributed coastal plant with medical values. The chloroplast genome of
is 161667 bp in length, and the GC content is 37.56%. The chloroplastic DNA molecule of
is a circular structure composed of LSC (large-single-copy), SSC (small-single-copy), and IR (inverted repeat) regions, with the size of the three regions being 88210 bp, 12117 bp, and 30670 bp, respectively. The chloroplast genome of
contains 141 genes, and 35 SSRs are identified in the chloroplast genome. Our research results provide important genomic information for the molecular phylogeny of
. The Phylogenetic analysis of 28
chloroplast genomes showed that the relationship of
with
or
was much closer than that with other
species. Further comparative analyses between the
species and
species revealed the mechanism underlying the formation of parasitic characteristics of
species from the perspective of the chloroplast genome. |
