Sedum is the largest succulent genus in Crassulaceae. Because of predominant maternal inheritance, little recombination, and slow evolution, plastomes can serve as powerful super barcodes for inter- or intra-species phylogenetic analyses. While previous research has focused on between species, studies are scarce. Here, we sequenced from three species (Sedum alfredii, plumbizincicola, japonicum) to understand their evolutionary relationships plastome structural evolution. Our analyses revealed minimal size GC content variation across species. However, gene distribution at IR boundaries, repeat structures, codon usage patterns showed diversity both inter-specific intra-specific levels. Notably, an rps19 expansion a bias toward A/T-ending codons were observed. Codon aversion motifs also varied, potentially serving markers future studies. Phylogenetic confirmed non-monophyly divided Acre clade into two groups. Individuals same clustered together, with strong support S. tricarpum, plumbizincicola. Additionally, japonicum clearly affiliates clade. This study provides valuable insights intra-generic Sedum, well overall evolution within genus.

However, the high morphological diversity of Meliaceae species lack comparative studies chloroplast (cp) genomes have led great challenges classification identification species. Methods In this study, we sequenced complete cp three Toona ( fargesii , ciliata sinensis ), conducted analyses these along with 29 previously published Meliaceae. Additionally, performed phylogenetic estimated divergence times Results The 32 ranged from 158,558 bp 160,978 length.
