Comparative chloroplast genomes of Incarvillea species (Bignoniaceae) unveiled genomic diversity and shed light on phylogenetic relationships

A comprehensive comparison of cp. genomic sequences revealed the diversity of the genus Incarvillea in terms of size, gene content and gene order of cp. genomes. Based on the cp. genome data, a robust phylogenetic tree of the genus Incarvillea was generated through phylogenetic analysis, with interspecific relationships well resolved. The results of this study enhance the understanding of the evolutionary history of the genus, and will facilitate further studies on the diversity and resource protection of the genus.
