Within the family Solanaceae, Withania is a small genus belonging to Solanoideae subfamily. Here, we report de novo assembled chloroplast genome sequences of W. coagulans, adpressa, and riebeckii. The length these genomes ranged from 154,162 154,364 base pairs (bp). These contained pair inverted repeats (IRa IRb) ranging 25,029 25,071 bp that were separated by large single-copy (LSC) region 85,635–85,765 (SSC) 18,457–18,469 bp. We analyzed structural organization, gene content order, guanine-cytosine content, codon usage, RNA-editing sites, microsatellites, oligonucleotide tandem repeats, substitutions plastomes, which revealed high similarities among species. Comparative analysis species also highlighted 10 divergent hotspots could potentially be used for molecular marker development, phylogenetic analysis, identification. Furthermore, our analyses showed even three mutational (rps4-trnT, trnM-atpE, rps15) sufficient discriminate included in current study.

Here, we compared the complete chloroplast genomes seven The were very similar their length ranges from 161,501 162,669 bp. Eight highly variable regions potential sources such as simple sequence repeats, large repeat sequences, single nucleotide polymorphisms identified, which are valuable for studies infra- inter-specific genetic diversity. SNP number differentiating any two ranged 112 1214, provided sufficient data species delimitation. Phylogenetic trees based on different sets consistent with one another, IR, SSC barcode combination rbcL + matK trnH-psbA produced slightly results. relationships within certainly resolved using cp genome sequences.
