| Description |
Phylogenetic relationship of the monotypic woody Parapteropyrum of the Subfamily Polygoniaceae in Polygonaceae remains controversial. It was suggested to be closely related to the woody genera of the tribe Atraphaxideae or nest within the herbal buckwheat genus Fagopyrum of another tribe Polygoneae. In order to resolve this controversial issue, three chloroplast genomes [Parapteropyrum (Fagopyrum) tibeticum, Atraphaxis bracteata and Calligonum ebinurcum] were assembled and annotated, then compared with other 9 plastomes download from NCBI. Using 12 genomes, download Plastome of Limonium aureum as the outgroup, reconstructed the phylogenetic tree of the monotypic woody Parapteropyrum. |
