First report of complete chloroplast genome sequence of monotypic genusAstilboides(Saxifragaceae) in North East Asia

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Astilboides tabularis, one of endemic species of Eastern Asia, was determined. The chloroplast genome was 157,147 bp in length with large single-copy (87,703 bp), small single-copy (18,268 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (25,588 bp). In total, 131 genes were encoded, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis using concatenated 77 protein-coding genes of 15 species chloroplast genome revealed that A. tabularis was sister to the clade containing Bergenia, Oresitrophe, and Mukdenia.
