Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Vicia chloroplast genomes ranged from 118,660 to 130,223 bp in size.
- Observation Six Vicia species lost one inverted repeat region.
- Observation The loss of one inverted repeat region placed six Vicia species within the IR-lacking clade.
- Observation V. villosa retained the ancestral quadripartite chloroplast genome structure.
- Observation Gene accD was lost in V. lathyroides.
- Observation A/T-rich mononucleotide simple sequence repeats predominated among Vicia microsatellites.
- Observation V. hybrida had the highest SSR density.
- Observation clpP was hypervariable among Vicia chloroplast coding regions.
- Observation ycf1 was hypervariable among Vicia chloroplast coding regions.
- Method / resource The ribosomal protein genes rps7 and rpl20 were highly effective phylogenetic barcodes.
- Observation Maximum likelihood phylogeny based on 86 shared protein-coding genes resolved Vicia species into well-supported clades.
