The complete chloroplast genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of <i>Ludwigia peruviana</i> (L.) H.Hara 1953 (Onagraceae)
Abstract
<i>Ludwigia peruviana</i> (L.) H.Hara 1953, a member of the Onagraceae, exhibits diverse potential applications, yet genomic resources - particularly chloroplast (cp) genome data - remain limited. Here, we sequenced and characterized the complete cp genome of <i>L. peruviana,</i> which was 158,938 bp in length and encoded 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA genes, and four ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analyses indicate a close relationship between <i>L. peruviana</i> and <i>Ludwigia hyssopifolia</i>. These results provide a useful genetic resource for further phylogenetic and taxonomic investigations of <i>Ludwigia</i> and Onagraceae, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of their relationships.
