摘要： Aglaonema, commonly called Chinese evergreens, are widely used for ornamental purposes. However, attempts to identify Aglaonema species and cultivars based on leaf morphology have been challenging. In the present study, chloroplast sequences were used to elucidate the phylogenetic relationships of cultivated Aglaonema in South China. The chloroplast genomes of one green species and five variegated cultivars of Aglaonema, Aglaonema modestum, 'Red Valentine', ,Lady Valentine', 'Hong Yan', 'Hong Jian', and 'Red Vein', were sequenced for comparative and phylogenetic analyses. The six chloroplast genomes of Aglaonema had typical quadripartite structures, comprising a large single copy (LSC) region (91,092-91,769 bp), a small single copy (SSC) region (20,816-26,501 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (21,703-26,732 bp). The genomes contained 112 different genes, including 79-80 protein coding genes, 28-29 tRNAs and 4 rRNAs. The molecular structure, gene order, content, codon usage, long repeats, and simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were generally conserved among the six sequenced genomes, but the IR-SSC boundary regions were significantly different, and 'Red Vein' had a distinct long repeat number and type frequency. For comparative and phylogenetic analyses, Aglaonema costatum was included; it was obtained from the GenBank database. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions/deletions (indels) were determined among the seven Aglaonema genomes studied. Nine divergent hotspots were identified: trnH-GUG-CDS1_psbA, trnS-GCU_trnS-CGA-CDS1, rps4-trnT-UGU, trnF-GAA-ndhJ, petD-CDS2-rpoA, ycf1-ndhF, rps15-ycf1-D2, ccsA-ndhD, and trnY-GUA-trnE-UUC. Additionally, positive selection was found for rpl2, rps2, rps3, ycf1 and ycf2 based on the analyses of Ka/Ks ratios among 16 Ara-ceae chloroplast genomes. The phylogenetic tree based on whole chloroplast genomes strongly supported monophyletic Aglaonema and clear relationships among Aroideae, Lasioideae, Lemnoideae, Monsteroideae, Orontioideae, Pothoideae and Zamioculcadoideae in the family Araceae. By contrast, protein coding gene phylogenies were poorly to strongly supported and incongruent with the whole chloroplast genome phylogenetic tree. This study provided valuable genome resources and helped identify Aglaonema species and cultivars.
