Abstract
This study presents the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Thymus seravschanicus, a medicinally important species from Central Asia. The 151,712 bp genome features a typical quadripartite structure and 114 unique genes. Comparative analysis of eight Thymus chloroplast genomes identified hotspots of nucleotide diversity, including the SSC region, ycf1 gene, and intergenic spacers, which can be exploited for phylogenetic and population genetic marker development. Phylogenomic analysis of 33 Lamiaceae species strongly supports the monophyly of major clades, including the genus Thymus. This work provides a valuable reference for molecular studies of T. seravschanicus and contributes to our understanding of chloroplast evolution in the Mint family.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
