Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation The C. juncea chloroplast genome was 152,635 base pairs in length.
- Observation The C. juncea chloroplast genome had a GC content of 36.62%.
- Observation The C. juncea chloroplast genome comprises 127 genes in total.
- Observation The C. juncea chloroplast genome includes 82 protein-coding genes.
- Observation The C. juncea chloroplast genome includes 37 tRNA genes.
- Observation The C. juncea chloroplast genome includes 8 rRNA genes.
- Observation Comparative analysis showed significant collinearity and synteny between the chloroplast genomes of C. juncea and other Crotalaria species.
- Observation Codon usage and repetitive sequence distributions were conserved across Crotalaria species.
- Observation Most protein-coding genes in Crotalaria chloroplast genomes exhibited higher Ka/Ks values.
- Mechanism The authors suggest the higher Ka/Ks values indicate positive evolutionary selection with adaptive significance.
- Observation Nucleotide diversity estimation identified clpP, matK and ndhF as highly diverse chloroplast genes in Crotalaria juncea.
- Observation Nucleotide diversity estimation identified rpoC2 as a highly diverse chloroplast gene in Crotalaria juncea.
