Chloroplasts are important organelles of a plant cell that have their own DNA (cpDNA), transmitted only through the female line, and performing the function of photosynthesis. In this work, we expanded the sample of plastomes of Solanum tuberosum cultivars grown in Russia. New plastomes were de novo reconstructed. Our analysis allowed us to determine the composition and gene location of these plastid DNAs. It has been shown that the plastid genome contains both highly and low variable regions. We also identified cpDNA types based on in silico approaches, identified distinct variants in potato plastomes, and reconstructed phylogeny based on entire plastome sequences.
