| Abstract: |
The plastid genomes (plastomes) of angiosperms are typically highly conserved, with extreme reconfiguration being uncommon, although reports of such events have emerged in some lineages. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive comparison of the complete plastomes from twenty-two species, covering seventeen genera from three subfamilies (Fumarioideae, Hypecooideae, and Papaveroideae) of Papaveraceae. Our results revealed a high level of variability in the plastid genome size of Papaveraceae, ranging from 151,864 bp to 219,144 bp in length, which might be triggered by the expansion of the IR region and a large number of repeat sequences. Moreover, we detected numerous large-scale rearrangements, primarily occurring in the plastomes of Fumarioideae and Hypecooideae. Frequent gene loss or pseudogenization were also observed for ndhs, accD, clpP, infA, rpl2, rpl20, rpl32, rps16, and several tRNA genes, particularly in Fumarioideae and Hypecooideae, which might be associated with the structural variation in their plastomes. Furthermore, we found that the plastomes of Fumarioideae exhibited a higher GC content and more repeat sequences than those of Papaveroideae. Our results showed that Papaveroideae generally displayed a relatively conserved plastome, with the exception of Eomecon chionantha, while Fumarioideae and Hypecooideae typically harbored highly reconfigurable plastomes, showing high variability in the genome size, gene content, and gene order. This study provides insights into the plastome evolution of Papaveraceae and may contribute to the development of effective molecular markers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
