For biogeographic and conservation purpose, a hybrid assembly approach based on long- and short-read genomic data allowed us to successfully assemble whole plastid genome of Delphinium montanum. The complete plastome is 154,185 bp in length, consisting of a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,559 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 84,746 and 16,320 bp, respectively. It was found to contain 136 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 44 trRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the plastid genome is 38.3%. Phylogenetic inference supports the polyphyly of the Delphinium genus.

In a context of global change, this is particularly the case for plants which belong to high-mountain ecosystems and, because of their ecological requirements, are doomed to survive or disappear on their ‘sky islands’. The Pyrenean Larkspur (Delphinium montanum, Ranunculaceae) is endemic to the Eastern part of the Pyrenees (France and Spain). It is now only observable at a dozen of localities and some populations show signs of decline, such as a recurrent lack of flowering. Implementing population genomic approach (e.g. RAD-seq like) is particularly useful to understand genomic patterns of diversity and differentiation in order to provide recommendations in term of conservation. However, it remains challenging for species such as D. montanum that are autotetraploid with a large genome size (1C-value > 10 pg) as most methods currently available were devel...
