Conserved genome structure and phylogenetic insights for the heterogeneous subfamily of Convallarioideae (Asparagaceae) revealed from plastome data
Chloroplast genomes across Convallarioideae exhibit remarkable structural conservation. The phylogenetic analyses revealed weakly resolved backbone relationships among core members of this subfamily. Indels in the LSC region and gene loss were identified as key drivers of structural divergence in plastome size. These results clarify the interplay between genomic architecture and phylogenetic discordance, advancing our understanding of genomic evolution within Convallarioideae.
