Reseach Progress on Chloroplast Genome of Moraceae Plant

Chloroplast genomes are characterized by semi-autonomy and maternal heredity.Revealing plant chloroplast genome played an important role in the study of origin,phylogeny,identification and classification of species in plant.The chloroplast genome of Moraceae plants had a double chain structure,composed of four parts,incluing a large single-copy（LSC）,a small single-copy（SSC）,and twoinverted repeat（IRs）.SSRs and SNPs,and codon useD preferenceare found in chloroplast genome.The present status,applications,and developing trends of chloroplast genome reasrch of Moraceae plants were briefly summarized in this review.It provided a reference for further understanding the functional mechanism of chloroplast in Moraceae plants.
