The complete chloroplast genome of Archakebia apetala (Lardizabalaceae)

Rhododendron delavayi, as a member of Ericaceae family, has been widely used as an important garden flower. The cp genome of R. delavayi exhibited a typical quadripartite cycle with 193,798 bp, comprising of a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) of 15,494 bp intersected by a large single copy (LSC) region of 160,234 bp and a quite small single copy region of 2576 bp. Totally, 123 unique genes were assembled in this cp genome, including 80 protein genes, 35 tRNAs and 8 rRNAs. Out of these assembled genes, 88 genes (71.54%) were single copy. Phylogenetic analysis based on 14 cp genome of related species showed that the R. delavayi was closely related to Vaccinium oldhamii. This study provides important information for future evolution, genetic and molecular biology studies of Rhododendron.

Changium smyrnioides Wolff, which could only be found in Eastern China, is a monotypic species of the genus Changium Wolff. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. smyrnioides was assembled and characterized by the 42.33 M high-throughput sequencing data. The chloroplast genome was 155,221 bp in length, consisting of large single-copy (LSC) and small single-copy (SSC) regions of 84,793 bp and 17,828 bp, respectively, which were separated by a pair of 26,300 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The genome is predicted to contain 131 genes, including 8 rRNA genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 86 protein-coding genes. The overall GC content of the genome is 37.7%. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed by 37 chloroplast genomes reveals that Chuanminshen violaceum is mostly related species to C. smyrnioides. The work reported here is the first complete chloroplast genome of C. smyrnioides which may provide useful information to the evolution of Changium genus.

“…At present, the research on A. tsao-ko mainly focuses on the chemical composition and pharmacological effects, while there are few studies on the molecular aspects (Lu et al 2018). The complete chloroplast genome would be useful to shed light on the phylogenetic relationships of A. tsao-ko (Wu et al 2017;Li et al 2019). In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of A. tsaoko is first reported, it will provide useful information for better understanding the evolution of the whole Zingiberaceae family.…”

The complete chloroplast genome of Amomum tsao-ko

2020

Amomum tsao-ko (Zingiberaceae) is an important edible and medicinal crop. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of A. tsao-ko was determined using Illumina sequencing platform. The size of whole cp genome was 163,648 bp, containing a small single copy (SSC) region of 15,355 bp and a large single copy (LSC) region of 88,741 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IRs) regions (29,776 bp). The A. tsao-ko cp genome contained 133 genes, including eight ribosomal RNA genes (4 rRNA species), 38 transfer RNA genes (30 tRNA species) and 87 protein-coding genes (79 PCG species). The overall GC content of A. tsao-ko cp genome is 36.02%. To investigate the evolution status of A. tsao-ko, as well as Zingiberales, a phylogenetic tree with A. tsao-ko and other 16 species was constructed based on their complete chloroplast genomes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. tsao-ko was closely related to Alpinia zerumbet.
