The complete chloroplast genome sequences of Anoectochilus nandanensis and A. calcareus

Abstract

Anoectochilus nandanensis and A. calcareus are medical plants with important economic value. In this study, we assembled their complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequences. The assembled cp genomes are 152,415 bp and 151,864 bp in length, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 82,412 bp and 82,083 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,367 bp and 17,142 bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,318 bp and 26,320 bp, respectively. All genomes contained 133 genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of genomes in both species is 36.9%. Further phylogenetic analysis showed that three Anoectochilus comprised of a monophyletic clade and A. nandanensis was more close to A. emeiensis.
