Phylogenomic insights from the complete chloroplast genome of Alnus hirsuta (Betulaceae): Genome structure and lineage relationships within the genus Alnus

Kyu Park, Jeong-Ki Hong, Yeon‐Sik Choo, KyoungSu CHOI · Korean Journal of Plant Taxonomy · 2026

Summary

The complete chloroplast genome of A. hirsuta was sequence and assemble using Illumina NovaSeq data and comparative plastome analyses using 19 congeners revealed a highly conserved genomic architecture across the genus Alnus, with only minor lineage-specific variations at the boundary between inverted repeat and small single-copy regions.
