The complete chloroplast genome ofCymbidium changningense(Orchidaceae)

Abstract

Cymbidium changningense is an ornamental orchid and endemic specie in China. Here, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence and the cp genome features of C. changningense. The cp genome was 155,388 bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure, which was comprised of one large single copy (LSC, 84,522 bp) region and one small single copy (SSC, 20,622 bp) region separated by two inverted repeat (IR, 25,122 bp) regions. The cp genome encoded 132 genes, of which 108 were unique genes (80 protein-coding genes, 24 tRNAs, and four rRNAs). The phylogenetic analysis showed that C. changningense was sister with C. erythraeum.
