摘要： Background Plastids originated from an ancient endosymbiotic event and evolved into the photosynthetic organelles in plant cells. They absorb light energy and carbon dioxide, converting them into chemical energy and oxygen, which are crucial for plant development and adaptation. However, little is known about the plastid genome to light adaptation. Petrocosmea, a member of the Gesneriaceae family, comprises approximately 70 species with diverse light environment, serve as an ideal subject for studying plastomes adapt to light. Results In this study, we selected ten representative species of Petrocosmea from diverse light environments, assembled their plastid genomes, and conducted a comparative genomic analysis. We found that the plastid genome of Petrocosmea is highly conserved in both structure and gene content. The phylogenetic relationships reconstructed based on the plastid genes were divided into five clades, which is consistent with the results of previous studies. The vast majority of plastid protein-coding genes were under purifying selection, with only the rps8 and rps16 genes identified under positive selection in different light environments. Notably, significant differences of evolutionary rate were observed in NADH dehydrogenase, ATPase ribosome, and RNA polymerase between Clade A and the other clades. Additionally, we identified ycf1 and several intergenic regions (trnH-psbA, trnK-rps16, rpoB-trnC, petA-psbJ, ccsA-trnL, rps16-trnQ, and trnS-trnG) as candidate barcodes for this emerging ornamental horticulture. Conclusion We newly assembled ten plastid genomes of Petrocosmea and identified several hypervariable regions, providing genetic resources and candidate markers for this promising emerging ornamental horticulture. Furthermore, our study suggested that rps8 and rps16 were under positive selection and that the evolutionary patterns of NADH dehydrogenase, ATPase ribosome, and RNA polymerase were related to the diversity light environment in Petrocosmea. This revealed an evolutionary scenario for light adaptation of the plastid genome in plants.
