The cpDNA matK region was amplified using matK472F and matK1248R primers, while the rbcL region was amplified with rbcLaF and rbcLaR primers. The matK and rbcL sequences were utilized to assess nucleotide ratios, genetic distance, and nucleotide diversity (p). The neighbor- joining (NJ) tree including other Prunus species from NCBI was created. In addition, physiochemical and 3-D analysis of matK and rbcL proteins were performed. As a result, p = 0.000549 for matK sequence and p = 0.002657 for rbcL sequence were determined. NJ (neighbor joining) phylogenetic trees formed with both matK and rbcL sequences were found to be compatible with each other. The matK and rbcL gene regions were found to be suitable for phylogenetic analysis.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMatkRbclPhylogeneticPrunus ArmeniacaTurkiyeArticle10.1007/s10722-023-01748-9715182518352-s2.0-85172126962Q2WOS:001073514300002N/A
