The complete chloroplast genome of Prunus japonica thunb.(Rosaceae), an ornamental and medicinal plant
MITOCHONDRIAL DNA PART B-RESOURCES(2021)
Abstract
Prunus japonica is an ornamental and medicinal plant that is widely cultivated. The complete chloroplast genome of P. japonica was sequenced using Illumina Hiseq X Ten platform. The chloroplast genome was 158,080 bp in length, containing two short inverted repeat (IRa and IRb) regions of 26,385 bp, which was separated by a large single copy (LSC) region of 86,270 bp and a small single copy (SSC) region of 19,040 bp. The GC content of the whole chloroplast genome was 36.8%. The chloroplast DNA of P. japonica comprised 112 distinct genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes and 30 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that all species of Prunus formed a monophyletic group, P. japonica was closely related to P. hulimis.
