Abstract excerpt
Chloroplast genomes, once considered highly conserved, have been shown to exhibit significant structural variations, though the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the chloroplast genome structure of eight populations comprising 76 individuals of Paphiopedilum barbigerum, P. helenae, and P. vejvarutianum. By using chloroplast genome sequences and 15,924 nuclear SNP loci, we...
