Reineckia carnea is an important horticultural and medicinal plant in East Asia. Here, we determined the first complete chloroplast genome of R. carnea using genome skimming approach. The cp genome was 157,059 bp long, with a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,474 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,535 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,525 bp. It encodes 132 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that R. carnea is close related to Rohdea chinensis.
Prunus pensylvanica is one of the two native cherry species of North America. We determined the first complete chloroplast genome of P. pensylvanica using genome-skimming approach. The cp genome was 157,953 bp long, with a large single-copy region (LSC) of 86,030 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 19,135 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,394 bp. It encodes 129 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. We also reconstructed the phylogeny of Prunus sensu lato using maximum likelihood (ML) method, including our data and previously reported cp genomes of related taxa. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that P. pensylvanica is closely related to P. emarginata.
ARTICLE HISTORY
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.
