Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Chloroplast Genome of <i>Carissa spinarum</i> L. (Rauvolfioideae, Apocynaceae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this study, we present the first de novo assembled chloroplast genome of Carissa spinarum L. and provide detailed insights into its genomic features. This is the second genome we are characterizing from the genus Carissa L. as before the article on Carissa macrocarpa exists. Furthermore, we reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships of C. spinarum
