Complete chloroplast genome of Ulleung Island endemic pokeweed, Phytolacca insularis (Phytolaccaceae), in Korea

Abstract

The first complete chloroplast genome sequences of Korean endemic pokeweed in Ulleung Island, Phytolacca insularis , were reported in this study. The P. insularis plastome was 156,419 bp long, with the large single copy (LSC) region of 86,106 bp, the small single copy (SSC) region of 18,335 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,989 bp. The plastome contained 132 genes, including 84 protein-coding, eight ribosomal RNA, and 39 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content was 36.8%. Phylogenetic analysis of 13 representative plastomes within the order Caryophyllales suggests that P. insularis is closely related to the species in family Aizoaceae.

Characterization and Comparison of Two Complete Plastomes of Rosaceae Species (Potentilla dickinsii var. glabrata and Spiraea insularis) Endemic to Ulleung Island, Korea

“…Since the first report of the complete plastome sequences of strawberry ( Fragaria vesca ) and apple ( Malus × domestica ), the plastome sequences of numerous species in the Rosaceae have been characterized over the past decade, which has been markedly facilitated by the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ]. Recently, complete plastome sequences have also been reported for several plant species among the diverse groups on Ulleung Island, including Campanula takesimana (Campanulaceae) [ 50 ], Chrysanthemum lucidum (Asteraceae) [ 51 ], Fagus multinervis (Fagaceae) [ 52 ], Lilium hansonii (Liliaceae) [ 53 ], Tilia insularis (Malvaceae) [ 54 ], Epilobium ulleungensis (Onagraceae) [ 55 ], Phytolacca insularis (Phytolaccaceae) [ 56 ], and Acer takesimense (Sapindaceae) [ 57 ]. Moreover, complete plastome sequences have been obtained for four species of Rosaceae endemic to Ulleung, namely, Rubus takesimensis , Prunus takesimensis , C. wilsonii , and Sorbus ulleungensis , which have provided important information regarding plastome organization and evolution [ 47 , 48 , 58 , 59 ].…”
