Comprehensive characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete plastomes of two ant–orchids, Caularthron bicornutum and Myrmecophila thomsoniana
This study represents the first comprehensive analysis of the plastome characteristics of Caularthron bicornutum and Myrmecophila thomsoniana. Through our characterization and phylogenetic analyses, we unveiled the unique IR expansion/SSC contraction and further elucidated their phylogenetic positions. Our research contributes significant data and insights into the dynamic evolution of ant-orchid plastomes and the phylogeny of the Laeliinae.
