The complete chloroplast genome of Forsythia mira, an endemic medicinal shrub in China

Abstract

Forsythia mira M. C. Chang (Oleaceae) is an endemic medicinal shrub in China. In this study, we first characterized its whole plastid genome sequence using the Illumina sequencing platform. The plastid genome was 156,485 bp in length, comprising of a large single copy (LSC) region of 87,223 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 17,830 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 51,432 each. The genome of F . mira contained 133 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNAs (tRNA), and 8 ribosomal RNAs (rRNA). The phylogenetic analysis showed that F . mira was placed as a sister to the congeneric F . suspensa .

The complete plastid genome sequence of Gleditsia sinensis, an ancient medicinal tree in China

“…The plastid genome was annotated by GENEIOUS R8 (Fan et al 2016) and manually adjusted by comparing with the plastid genome homologous gene of MK817503. Finally, the annotated plastid genome of G. sinensis was submitted to GenBank (accession number: MT483984) and the ring genome was mapped using OGDRAW program (Wang et al 2019;Gao et al 2020).…”
