Abstract:
Hibiscus moscheutos, a perennial herb in the Malvaceae family, has medicinal properties but lacks molecular data. This study sequenced and analyzed its first complete plastome using next-generation sequencing. The 160,208 bp circular plastome has a typical quadripartite structure with 130 genes and 36.93% GC content. Phylogenetic analysis showed that H. mutabilis is sister to H. taiwanensis. This study provides essential molecular data for future research on Hibiscus phylogeny, taxonomy, and evolution.
