The complete chloroplast genome of Hevea camargoana

Abstract

Hevea camargoana is a natural latex producing tropical plant and a close relative of H. brasiliensis, the primary commercial source of natural rubber. This study sequenced and analyzed the chloroplast genome of H. camargoana. The circular chloroplast genome of H. camargoana contains 161,291 bp with a GC content of 35.72%. This region contains two inverted repeat regions (26,819 bp), a large single-copy region (89,281 bp), and a small single-copy (18,372 bp) region in the complete chloroplast genome. A total of 134 genes were annotated, including 86 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer RNA genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 4 pseudogenes. The results showed that H. camargoana and H. brasiliensis were closely related, suggesting that H. camargoana may be used for the future variety improvement of rubber trees.

Complete chloroplast genome of Hevea benthamiana, a SALB-resistant relative wild species of rubber tree

“… 2011 ) and H. camargoana (Niu et al. 2020 ) have also been reported. As a relatively wild species of H. brasiliensis , the chloroplast genome of H. benthamiana has not yet been reported.…”

The evolutionary fate of rpl32 and rps16 losses in the Euphorbia schimperi (Euphorbiaceae) plastome

“…Only 21 species of Euphorbiaceae have complete plastome sequences available in NCBI (accessed on December 13, 2020) with eleven published and most of these are economically important and have some medicinal activities due to the presence of isoprenoids [15][16][17][23][24][25]46,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64 . Using next generation sequencing technologies and de novo assembly, the plastome and nuclear transcriptome of Euphorbia schimperi was sequenced.…”

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Hevea pauciflora (Euphorbiaceae), an important wild relative of the rubber tree

“… 2011 ), H. benthamiana (Niu et al. 2020 ), and H. camargoana (Niu et al. 2020 ) have been sequenced.…”

“… 2020 ), and H. camargoana (Niu et al. 2020 ) have been sequenced. H. pauciflora , the only species with 18 chromosomes in the genus Hevea , has great potential for distant hybridization breeding of the rubber tree.…”
