Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Panax, including medicinally important species such as P. ginseng, P. quinquefolius, and P. notoginseng, exhibits diverse pharmacological properties. However, morphological traits are lost and DNA is often degraded during processing, complicating species identification. As photosynthetic organelles, plastomes offer both stable molecular markers and a direct window into light adaptation. Unlike their...
