Comparative Analysis and Phylogenetic Study of the Chloroplast Genome Sequences of Two Korean Endemic Primula Varieties

Primula comprises many species of horticultural value. In Korea, six grow in the wild. Yamazaki classified variety modesta var. fauriei into P. hannasanensis and koreana based on differences leaf morphology. We compared chloroplast genome sequences two Korean endemic varieties found that both had typical quadripartite structure angiosperms. The size is 154,772 bp, including an 85,238 bp large single-copy region a 17,790 small region, whereas 154,667 85,152 17,771 region. inverted repeat 25,872 varieties. predicted 129 genes—84 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNAs, 37 tRNAs. identified 536 single-nucleotide polymorphisms 501 indels between Phylogenetic analysis revealed formed sister group clade knuthiana–P. stenocalyx. This study will contribute to phylogenetic, taxonomic, evolutionary studies genus Primula; it also genetic diversity varieties, development identification markers.
