Abstract

This comprehensive plastome-based study enriches our understanding of the evolutionary dynamics of peach cultivars, particularly Clingstone and Freestone, in relation to wild Prunus relatives. The identified SSR loci, codon usage features, and structural variations offer potential molecular markers for peach genetic evolution and precise taxonomic resolution at the subspecies level.
