From light into shadow: comparative plastomes in Petrocosmea and implications for low light adaptation
We newly assembled ten plastid genomes of Petrocosmea and identified several hypervariable regions, providing genetic resources and candidate markers for this promising emerging ornamental horticulture. Furthermore, our study suggested that rps8 and rps16 were under positive selection and that the evolutionary patterns of NADH dehydrogenase, ATPase ribosome, and RNA polymerase were related to the diversity light environment in Petrocosmea. This revealed an evolutionary scenario for light adaptation of the plastid genome in plants.
