Unraveling the Chloroplast Genomes of Two Prosopis Species to Identify Its Genomic Information, Comparative Analyses and Phylogenetic Relationship

Genus (family Fabaceae) are shrubby trees, native to arid and semi-arid regions of Asia, Africa, and America and known for nitrogen fixation. Here, we have sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of two species ( . and . ) and compared them with previously sequenced , , and belonging to the...

Description
Summary:Genus (family Fabaceae) are shrubby trees, native to arid and semi-arid regions of Asia, Africa, and America and known for nitrogen fixation. Here, we have sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of two species ( . and . ) and compared them with previously sequenced , , and belonging to the same family. The complete genome sequences of species and related species ranged from 159,389 bp ( . ) to 163,677 bp ( . ). The overall GC contents of the genomes were almost the similar (35.9-36.6%). The and genomes encoded 132 and 131 genes, respectively, whereas both the species comprised of 85 protein-coding genes higher than other compared species. About 140, 134, and 129 repeats were identified in . , . and . cp genomes, respectively. Similarly, the maximum number of simple sequence repeats were determined in . (88), . (84), and (78). Moreover, complete cp genome comparison determined a high degree of sequence similarity among . , and however some divergence in the intergenic spacers of and were observed. The phylogenetic analysis showed that . is closer to . than .
