In this study, the chloroplast genomes of 123 varieties of the mulberry plant were analyzed. The genomes were found to be around 159,000 bp in size and contained 125 genes. The study discovered that 87 of the varieties shared 14 common ancestors, indicating maternal inheritance. The study also identified six species of the mulberry plant and proposed a new classification system. This research is important for the classification, domestication, and breeding improvement of the economically important mulberry plant.
