Plastid genome comparison and phylogenetic analyses of the Chinese group of medicinal species and related taxa within Asparagus genus by Pingxuan Xie, Tinglu Wang, Jiawei Tan, Linyuan Fan, Changkun Liu, Hanjing Yan

“…However, accurate authentication of these medicinal species and their phylogenetic relationships with related taxa remains unresolved.MethodsTo identify simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and divergence hotspot regions appropriate for future authentication studies, as well as to infer the phylogenetic relationships among Asparagus species, we employed a plastid genome (plastome) dataset consisting of 25 Asparagus species (21 newly sequenced and four retrieved from GenBank), encompassing 12 Chinese medicinal species, for comparative and phylogenetic analyses.ResultsAll Asparagus plastomes displayed a typical quadripartite structure with sizes ranging from 155,948 bp to 157,128 bp and harbored 114 unique genes (80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes). …”

“…Results: In both sitting and standing postures, the highest average grip strength was observed at a 0-degree wrist angle with a 90-degree elbow angle (standing: 28.6 ± 10.8, sitting 25.8 ± 9.8), while the lowest average grip strength was recorded at full wrist extension with a 0-degree elbow angle (standing: 19.3 ± 6.5, sitting 17.9 ± 6.9). In all three elbow angles examined (0°, 60°, and 90°), the highest value of perceived exertion was recorded in the full extension of the wrist. …”
