摘要: The plastid organelle is vital for photosynthesis and energy production. Advances in sequencing technology have enabled the exploration of plastomic resources, offering insights into plant evolution, diversity, and conservation. As an important group of horticultural ornamentals in the Crassulaceae family, Sempervivum plants are known for their unique rosette-like structures and reproduction through offsets. Despite their popularity, the classification status of Sempervivum remains uncertain, with only a single plastome sequence currently available. Furthermore, codon usage bias (CUB) is a widespread phenomenon of the unbalanced usage of synonymous codons in the coding sequence (CDS). However, due to the limited available plastid data, there has been no research that focused on the CUB analysis among Sempervivum until now. To address these gaps, we sequenced and released the plastomes of seven species and one subspecies from Sempervivum, revealing several consistent patterns. These included a shared 110 bp extension of the rps19 gene, 14 hypervariable regions (HVRs) with distinct nucleotide diversity (pi: 0.01173 to 0.02702), and evidence of selective pressures shaping codon usage. Notably, phylogenetic analysis robustly divided the monophyletic clade into two sections: Jovibarba and Sempervivum. In conclusion, this comprehensive plastomic resource provides valuable insights into Sempervivum evolution and offers potential molecular markers for DNA barcoding.
