Abstract
The complete chloroplast genome of the mulberry Morus notabilis (Moreae) has been reconstructed from the whole-genome Illumina sequencing data. The circular genome is 158,680 bp in size, and comprises a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,717 bp each, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87,470 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 19,776 bp. The total A+T content is 63.6%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC and IR region are 65.9%, 70.7% and 57.1%, respectively. The chloroplast genome contains 129 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes (PCGs), eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and 37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis revealed that M. notabilis was more related to its congeners than to the others.
