Abstract:Plastid genomes (plastomes) represent rich sources of information for phylogenomics, from higher-level studies to below the species level. The genus Rhus (sumac) has received a significant amount of study from phylogenetic and biogeographic perspectives, but genomic studies in this genus are lacking. Rhus integrifolia and R. ovata are two shrubby species of high ecological importance in the southwestern USA and Mexico, where they occupy coastal scrub and chaparral habitats. They hybridize frequently, represent… Show more
“…pubescens, indicating that gene deletion occurred during cp evolution. The missing rps19 gene from the cp genomes was also reported in some species in Rhus (Barrett, 2020). Some lost genes were proved to be transferred to the nuclear or mitochondrial genomes, where they may still be expressed (Daniell et al, 2016).…”

“…Over the past years, it has been used to elucidate plant molecular evolution, enhancing our understanding of chloroplast biology, conservation, and diversity (Daniell et al, 2016 ). Moreover, cp genomes represent rich information sources for phylogenomics, from higher‐level to below the species level (Barrett, 2020 ; Dong et al, 2021 , 2022 ; Ruhfel et al, 2014 ). To date, the cp genome is available for only one representative Cotinus species.…”
Mill. is an oligo-specific genus in the family Anacardiaceae with great ornamental value. It exhibits a disjunct distribution in the Northern Hemisphere particularly in southern Europe, eastern Asia, and North America (Matić et al., 2016;Pell et al., 2011). The common name for Cotinus, "smoketree or smokebush", refers to its unique large panicles, covered with tiny, persistent feathery plumes that give the inflorescences a wispy smoke-like appearance. In addition, owing to their fast growth and drought tolerance, Cotinus species

“…Barrett et al (2020) found the loss of rps19 and rpl22 genes from the chloroplast genome of R. chinensis (accession No. MG267385) [ 49 ], while the two genes were annotated in our current study. With the acquisition of the new complete chloroplast genome of R. chinensis , more complete genomic information indicated that the rps19 gene was present in the R. chinensis sample and that there were some minor differences in its location compared to other Rhus species.…”
The sumac Rhus chinensis Mill. is an economically and ecologically important shrub or tree species in the family of Anacardiaceae with a wide distribution in East to Southeast Asia. We assembled the complete chloroplast genome of 159,187 bp in length and the GC content of 37.8%. The genome encoded 132 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 1 pseudogene, and 77 SSRs were identified as well as the interval regions, totaling 46,425 bp in length. The mauve alignment revealed one gene rearrangement among the Rhus species. All the SSRs were divided into five types, most of which consisted of mono- and tri- repeat motifs. Our genome exhibited the longest size and more annotated genes compared to the three other genomes of R. chinensis reported in GenBank. We also discovered some relatively highly variable regions in the complete chloroplast genomes of the Rhus species. The ML phylogenetic analysis of the available chloroplast sequences of the Anacardiaceae well supported the monophyly of each tribe and each genus; the tribe Rhoideae was close to the tribe Anacardiaceae with a high support of 100%, and they then grouped with the tribe Spondiadeae. R. chinensis was sister to R. potaninii, and they then grouped with the species R. typhina.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
