Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Chloroplast Genome of Elaeagnus oxycarpa Schltdl

BACKGROUND: Schltdl. (Elaeagnaceae) is a vital sand-fixing tree species in the arid, semi-arid, and desert regions of China, holding significant ecological and economic value. However, its chloroplast (cp) genome has not been previously characterized. RESULTS: form a sister clade, indicating their close genetic relationship. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings provide crucial genomic resources and a theoretical foundation for the species identification and elucidation of the evolutionary history of Elaeagnaceae.
