Abstract:
Trollius ledebourii Rehb. (commonly known as short petal golden lotus) Ic. Pl. Crit. 1825 is a perennial plant that belongs to the genus Trollius in the Ranunculaceae family. The complete genetic makeup of the short petal golden lotus determines its characteristic tetrad arrangement. The chloroplast genome of T. ledebourii is 160029 bp long, while the two reverse repeat sequences (IRa and IRb), large single copy region (LSC), and small single copy region (SSC) are 53162, 88487, and 18380 bp long, respectively. This chloroplast genome comprises 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 genes involved in tRNA production, and 8 genes responsible for rRNA synthesis. A phylogenetic analysis revealed that T. ledebourii and T. chinensis are closely related species. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the short petal golden lotus will contribute to the advancement of molecular breeding, evolutionary analysis, and phylogenetic research pertaining to this species.

A photon is a discrete electromagnetic particle or bundle of energy. Photons are characterized by their frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, similar to the properties of a wave. Waves with higher frequencies transmit more energy and have shorter wavelengths than longer wavelengths that transmit...
