Comparative and phylogenetic analyses of the chloroplast genomes of species of Paeoniaceae

Abstract Plants belonging to family Paeoniaceae are not only economically important ornamental plants but also medicinal plants used as an important source of traditional Chinese medicine. Owing to the complex network evolution and polyploidy evolution of this family, its systematics and taxonomy ar...
