“…By comparing published cp genome reports on members of the Thymelaeaceae, it was determined that the complete cp genome sequence of Edgeworthia is shorter than those of G. affinis of subfamily Octolepidoideae (176,548 bp) and nine species of Aquilaria (Aquilaria beccariana, Aquilaria crassna, Aquilaria hirta, Aquilaria malaccensis, Aquilaria microcarpa, Aquilaria rostrata, A. sinensis, Aquilaria subintegra, and Aquilaria yunnanensis; 174,693-174,907 bp) from Aquilarieae of subfamily Thymelaeoideae (Hishamuddin et al, 2020), but was longer than the four species of Daphne (Daphne giraldii, D. kiusiana, Daphne laureola, and Daphne tangutica; 169,944-171,643 bp) (Cho et al, 2018;Könyves et al, 2019;Yan et al, 2019a,b), two species of Wikstroemia (W. chamaedaphne and Wikstroemia indica; 151,731-173,042 bp) from the Daphne group , and Pimelea aquilonia (172,364 bp) from the Gnidia group (Foster et al, 2018), all belonging to the Daphneae of subfamily Thymelaeoideae. Stellera chamaejasme, from the monospecific Stellera, was the only species from the Daphne group with a total cp genome size within the cp genome size range of Edgeworthia, which was 173,381 bp (Yun et al, 2019). Eventually, rather small size of the SSC region was observed in the cp genome of most species from Thymelaeaceae.…”
