Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation The Teucrium chloroplast genomes show typical quadripartite structures ranging from 149,913 bp to 150,026 bp.
- Observation Genes rpoC2, ycf1, ycf2, ndhF, rpl32, rps16 and accD showed notable sequence variation.
- Observation The intergenic regions trnH-GUG-psbA, rps16-trnQ-UUG and petG-trnW-CCA are highly variable and are potential hotspots for species differentiation.
- Observation Codon usage shows a strong preference for A/U-ending codons.
- Observation Nucleotide diversity analysis identified highly variable intergenic regions trnH-GUG-psbA and rpl32-trnL-UAG.
- Observation Phylogenetic reconstruction placed T. chamaedrys, T. flavum and T. polium in well-supported clades.
- Observation The study provides the first complete chloroplast genome sequences for these Iranian Teucrium species.
