Overview

Comparative analysis identifies evolutionary relationships in Vandenboschia radicans complex, suggesting low genetic variation.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the evolutionary history and genetic diversity of the Vandenboschia radicans complex in Korea.
  • Sequenced nine complete plastomes from the V. radicans complex.
  • Conducted phylogenetic analysis using 84 concatenated genes and 1,719 generated phylogenetic trees.
  • Analyzed branch models for selection pressure among the plastome genes.
  • Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the monophyly of each genotype with high bootstrap values.
  • Moderate gene concordance in the α genotype suggests complexity in its evolutionary history.
  • Estimated ω values indicate purifying selection on plastome genes with low genetic variation observed.
