“…In total, the in-group sampling included 39 Corydalis species from 31 sections and four series (Table 1), representing about 80% of sections and series of Corydalis according to the infrageneric taxonomic system of Zhang et al (2008). The other already reported Corydalis plastomes (Kanwal et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2021;Ren et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2021) were not included in this study because we have some concerns about the reliability of their plastome data. As we mainly focused on constructing the backbone phylogeny of Corydalis, our samplings were designed to cover as many sections as possible; thus, we mostly selected one representative for each section.…”

A robust backbone phylogeny is fundamental for developing a stable classification and is instructive for further research. However, it was still not available for Corydalis DC., a species-rich (> 500 species), ecologically and medically important, but taxonomically notoriously difficult genus. Here, we constructed backbone phylogeny and estimated the divergence of Corydalis based on the plastome data from 39 Corydalis species (32 newly sequenced), which represent ca. 80% of sections and series across this genus. Our phylogenetic analyses recovered six fully supported main clades (I–VI) and provided full support for the majority of lineages within Corydalis. Section Archaeocapnos was unexpectedly turned out to be sister to the rest of the subg. Corydalis s. l. (clades IV–VI), thus treating as a distinct clade (clade III) to render all the main clades monophyletic. Additionally, some unusual plastome structural rearrangements were constantly detected within Corydalis and were proven to be lineage-specific in this study, which, in turn, provided further support to our phylogeny. A segment containing five genes (trnV-UAC–rbcL) in the plastome's LSC region was either normally located downstream of the ndhC gene in clade I species or translocated downstream of the atpH gene in clade II species or translocated to downstream of the trnK-UUU gene in clade III–VI species. The unique large inversion (ca. 50 kb) in the plastome LSC region of clade III species, representing an intermediate stage of the above translocation in clades IV–VI, firmly supported clade III as a distinct and early diverged clade within this large lineage (clades III–VI). Our phylogeny contradicted substantially with the morphology-based taxonomy, rejected the treatment of tuberous species as an independent evolutionary group, and proved that some commonly used diagnostic characters (e.g., root and rhizome) were results of convergent evolution, suggestive of unreliability in Corydalis. We dated the origin of crown Corydalis to the early Eocene (crown age 49.08 Ma) and revealed possible explosive radiation around 25 Ma, coinciding with the drastic uplift of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in Oligocene and Miocene. This study provided the most reliable and robust backbone phylogeny of Corydalis to date and shed some new insights on the evolution of Corydalis.

Herbal medicines were widely used in ancient and modern societies as remedies for human ailments. Notably, the Papaveraceae family includes well-known species, such as Papaver somniferum and Chelidonium majus, which possess medicinal properties due to their latex content. Latex-bearing plants are a rich source of diverse bioactive compounds, with applications ranging from narcotics to analgesics and relaxants. With the advent of high-throughput technologies and advancements in sequencing tools, an opportunity exists to bridge the knowledge gap between the genetic information of herbs and the regulatory networks underlying their medicinal activities. This emerging discipline, known as herbgenomics, combines genomic information with other -omics studies to unravel the genetic foundations, including essential gene functions and secondary metabolite biosynthesis pathways. Furthermore, exploring the genomes of various medicinal plants enables the utilization of modern genetic manipulation techniques, such as Clustered Regularly-Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR/Cas9) or RNA interference. This technological revolution has facilitated systematic studies of model herbs, targeted breeding of medicinal plants, the establishment of gene banks and the adoption of synthetic biology approaches. In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic research on species within the Papaveraceae family. Additionally, it briefly explores the potential applications and key opportunities offered by the -omics perspective in the pharmaceutical industry and the agrobiotechnology field.
