Sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the chloroplast genome for Rosa xanthina

Rosa xanthinais a wild shrub rose that is native to open slopes and scrubby areas in central China. In this study, the chloroplast genome sequence ofR. xanthinabeen assembled and characterized by Illumina sequencing. The complete chloroplast genome was 157,214 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 86,302 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,770 bp, which were separated by a pair of 26,071 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs), each. A total contained 137 genes, including 90 protein-coding, 8 rRNA, and 39 tRNA genes. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis of 15 representative plastomes within the orderRosasuggests thatR. xanthinaclosely related to theRosa berberifolia.
