Comparative chloroplast genome analysis of five widespread species (Zanthoxylum L.) and development of molecular markers for their discrimination
Comparative analysis revealed that <i>rps3</i>-<i>rpl22</i>-<i>rps19</i> is a highly variable divergent region in <i>Zanthoxylum</i> that could be developed as candidate markers for phylogenetic studies and species identification. This study identified a pair of molecular markers from hypervariable regions that can be used to distinguish between the five <i>Zanthoxylum</i> species and validated their utility. Overall, the results of this study provide new insights into the genetic breeding, germplasm exploration, and phylogeny of <i>Zanthoxylum</i> species.
