Pseudostellaria longipedicellata which belongs to Caryophyllaceae is endemic in South Korea. In this study, we presented first complete chloroplast genome of P. longipedicellata which is 149,626 bp and has four sub-regions: 81,292 bp of large single copy (LSC) and 16,984 bp of small single copy (SSC) regions are separated by 25,675 bp of inverted repeat (IRs) regions including 126 genes (81 CDS, eight rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs). The overall GC contents of the chloroplast genome were 36.5% and in the LSC, SSC and IR regions were 34.3%, 29.3%, and 42.4%, respectively.

Completed mitochondrial genome of a new species candidate of Rosa rugosa, named as Rosa angusta, is 303,484 bp long. The overall GC content of this mitochondrial genome is 45.2%. It contains 52 genes covering 31 protein-coding genes, 17 tRNAs, and 3 rRNAs. In comparison to R. rugosa mitochondrial genome assembled from the public NGS raw reads, 124 SNPs and 769 INDELs were identified. Phylogenetic trees suggest that more Rosa mitochondrial genomes will be needed to understand phylogenetic relationship of the two Rosa species.
Pseudostellaria palibiniana which belongs to subseries Verticilatae is one of the species in Pseudostellaria palibiniana species complex (PPSC). To uncover intraspecies variation of P. palibiniana, we presented its second complete chloroplast genome which is 149,639 bp long and has four subregions: 81,286 bp of large single copy and 16,977 bp of small single copy regions are separated by 25,688 bp of inverted repeat regions including 126 genes (81 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs). The overall GC content is 36.5% and those in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.3%, 29.4%, and 42.4%, respectively. Eighty-four single nucleotide polymorphisms and 125 insertions and deletions are identified between two individuals of P. palibiniana. Phylogenetic tree presents that P. palibiniana isolated from the same place of Pseudostellaria longipedicellata is clustered with another P. palibiniana, showing that PPSC can be solved using complete chloroplast genomes.

Coffea arabica L. taking 70% of world coffee production is also used as an ornamental species. One imported coffee tree from Indonesia near to thirty years ago of which leaf is wrinkled (named as IN1) was chosen to know its genetic background. Here, we presented complete chloroplast genome of Coffea arabica IN1 which is 155,277 bp long and has four subregions: 85,248 bp of large single copy (LSC) and 18,137 bp of small single copy (SSC) regions are separated by 25,946 bp of inverted repeat (IR) regions including 131 genes (86 protein-coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs). The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome is 37.4% and those in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 35.4%, 31.3%, and 43.0%, respectively. In comparison to three available coffee chloroplast genomes, 84 bp insertion on IN1 chloroplast genome is found, which is big differences in comparison to other available coffee chloroplast genomes. Even though relatively low number of sequence variations on coffee chloroplast genomes, these results can be used as a corner stone for establishing molecular markers to identify its origin or cultivars.
ARTICLE HISTORY
Complete chloroplast genome of candidate new species from Rosa rugosa, named as Rosa angusta, is 156,989 bp long and has four subregions: 86,227 bp of large single copy (LSC) and 18,816 bp of small single copy (SSC) regions are separated by 25,793 bp of inverted repeat (IR) regions including 130 genes (85 protein-coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs). The overall GC content of this chloroplast genome is 37.2% and in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 35.2%, 31.1%, and 42.8%, respectively. Phylogenetic trees show that R. angusta is close to R. rugosa with enough number of sequence variations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
