The genus Passiflora , known its species diversity dynamic chloroplast (cp) genome evolution, serves as an excellent model studying structural variations. This study investigates evolutionary relationships within by sequencing 11 new genomes, assessing selective pressures on cp genes, comparing plastid nuclear phylogenies. genomes showed significant variations size, gene content, structure, ranging from 132,736 to 163,292 base pairs, especially Decaloba . Structural rearrangements species-specific repeat patterns were identified. Selective pressure tests revealed adaptive evolution certain lineages, with several including clpP petL under positive selection. Phylogenetic analyses confirmed the monophyly of subgenera Astrophea while Deidamioides appeared polyphyletic. Nuclear phylogenetic analysis based 35S rDNA sequences supported but inconsistencies subgenus compared data. highlights complexity demonstrating evolution. findings underscore effectiveness phylogenomics resolving provide insights into mechanisms shaping angiosperms.

With the development of molecular sequencing approaches, many taxonomic and phylogenetic problems genus Allium L. have been solved; however, relationships some subgenera or sections, such as section Bromatorrhiza, remain unresolved, which has greatly impeded our full understanding species among major clades Allium. In this study, complete chloroplast (cp) genomes nine in sect. Bromatorrhiza were determined using Illumina paired-end sequencing, NOVOPlasty de novo assembly strategy, PGA annotation method. The results showed that cp genome exhibited high conservation revealed a typical circular tetrad structure. Among species, gene content, SSRs, codon usage, RNA editing site similar. structure IR regions’ fluctuation investigated while genes, CDSs, non-coding regions extracted for phylogeny reconstruction. Evolutionary rates (Ka/Ks values) calculated, positive selection analysis was further performed branch-site model. Five hypervariable identified candidate markers authentication. A clear relationship detected based on concatenated genes respectively, suggested is monophyly. addition, there three with higher Ka/Ks values (rps2, ycf1, ycf2), four (rpoC2, atpF, atpI, rpl14) to own selected sites.
