Abstract excerpt
As the most diverse genus of Salicaceae, Salix is primarily distributed in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere, encompassing 350-500 species worldwide. The genus's evolutionary history is complex due to significant genetic differentiation. Chloroplast genes, being highly conserved, serve as effective tools for studying uniparental inheritance and evolution. In this study, we sequenced and assembled the...
