The complete chloroplast genome of Corydalis wilsonii N. E. Brown 1903 and its phylogenetic analysis

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Species within Corydalis are valued for medicinal and ornamental uses but taxonomic uncertainties persist due to limited genomic data. Here, we present the complete chloroplast genome of C. wilsonii, with a quadripartite structure of 191,388 bp and 140 functional genes. Phylogenetic analysis robustly resolves C. wilsonii within a monophyletic clade alongside C. saxicola, C. tomentella, and C. fangshanensis, all nested within sect. Thalictrifoliae (bootstrap support = 100%). This study expands the chloroplast genomic resources for Corydalis and establishes a taxonomic framework to refine species identification and resolve evolutionary relationships within this ecologically and economically vital genus.
