Abstract
Cerasus Campanulata is one of several species belonging to the Prunoideae focke, a subfamily of the flowering plant Rosaceae. We investigated
the details of its chloroplast genome which may reveal its genus independent
of morphological determination. Here, we determined the complete chloroplast
(cp) genome sequence of
C. campanulata and performed sequence analysis to
reveal the presence of 18 forward repeats, 20 palindrome repeats, 2 complement
repeats, 4 reverse repeats and 93 simple sequence repeats (SSRs). We additionally
performed a comparative study of
C. campanulata and seven other Prunoideae
focke species. Then, maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML)
phylogenetic analyses were carried out in the little part of Rosaceae, respectively.
The results strongly support a position of
C. campanulata as a member of the Cerasus in the Rosaceae family. Moreover, the complete cp genome can be used for
plant phylogenetic and evolutionary studies that will provide insight into the
degree of gene conservation.
