The complete chloroplast genome of Ranunculus cantoniensis was determined. Total chloroplast genome was 155,119 bp in lenth, displayed a typical quadripartite structure, including a large single copy (LSC) region of 84,634 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,879 bp, separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,803 bp. A total of 131 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes were indentified. Among them, 15 genes have one intron each and 3 genes contain two introns. The overall GC content was 37.9%, while the corresponding values of LSC, SSC, and IR regions were 36.0, 31.1, and 43.5%, respectively. Phylogenetic relationship analysis showed that R. cantoniensis was closely related to R. macranthus.
The complete chloroplast genome of Archakebia apetala, a monotypic genus endemic to China, was determined. The size of complete chloroplast genome is 157,929 bp, containing a large single copy (LSC) region of 86,630 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 19,001 bp, separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,149 bp. The chloroplast genome encodes 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Among them, 15 genes have one intron each and 3 genes contain two introns. The overall GC content is 38.7%, while the corresponding values of LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 37.1, 33.6, and 43.1%, respectively. Phylogenetic relationship analysis showed that Archakebia apetala was closely related to Holboellia latifolia. The complete chloroplast genome could provide new insight into the evolution of Lardizabalaceae.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
