The complete chloroplast genome and phylogenetic analysis of Lemmaphyllum carnosum var. drymoglossoides (baker) X. P. Wei, 2013

Abstract

Lemmaphyllum carnosum var. drymoglossoides (Baker) X. P. Wei, 2013 is a valuable medicinal fern in China. Its complete chloroplast genome was determined using Illumina paired-end sequencing. The genome was 157,571 bp in length with 130 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 35 tRNA genes. It displayed a quadripartite structure consisting of a small single-copy (SSC) of 21,691 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) of 81,106 bp, and two inverted repeats (IRs) of 27,387 bp, respectively. The phylogenetic results indicated that L. carnosum var. drymoglossoides exhibited the closest relationship with L. intermedium , and this study provided new information for the phylogenetic relationship of the Polypodiaceae family.
