The complete chloroplast genome sequence ofCasimiroa edulis

Abstract

The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Casimiroa edulis was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 160,176 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 87,536 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,576 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 27,032 bp. The genome contains 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 38.2%, and the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 36.5, 33.0, and 42.9%, respectively. Further, phylogenomic analysis showed that C. edulis, Phellodendron amurense, and Zanthoxylum bungeanum clustered in a clade in family Rutaceae. ARTICLE HISTORY
