Abstract

Malaxidinae is one of the confusing groups with classification in Orchidaceae. Previous phylogenetic analysis reveals that the relationships among the taxa in Malaxidinae have not yet been reliably established using a few plastome regions or nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (nrITS). In the present study, the complete plastomes of Oberonia integerrima and Crepidium purpureum were assembled using high-throughput sequencing. Combined with publicly available complete plastome data, this resulted in a data set of 19 plastomes, including 17 species of Malaxidinae. The plastome feature and phylogenetic relationship were compared and analyzed. The results showed that: (1) The plastomes of Malaxidinae species possessed the quadripartite structure of typical angiosperms, with sizes ranging from 142,996 bp to 158,787 bp and encoding from 125 to 133 genes. The ndh genes were lost or pseudogenized with varying degrees in six species. An unusal inversion was detected in the Large Single-Copy region (LSC) of Oberonioides microtatantha. (2) A total of 8 regions, including ycf1, matK, rps16, rpl32, ccsA-ndhD, clpP-psbB, trn-FGAA-ndhJ, and trnSGCU-trnGUCC, were identified as mutational hotspots. (3) Based on complete plastomes, 68 protein-coding genes and 51 intergenic regions, respectively, the phylogenetic analyses resolved genera-level relationships in this subtribe with strong support. The Liparis was supported as polyphyletic.
