Abstract excerpt

Background: Apple is one of the most important temperate deciduous fruit trees worldwide, with a wide range of cultivation. In this study, we assessed the variations and phylogenetic relationships between the complete chloroplast genomes of wild and cultivated apples (Malus spp.). Method: We obtained the complete chloroplast genomes of 24 apple varieties using next-generation sequencing technology and compared...
