Abstract
Rubus Linnaeus has long been deemed as one of the most diverse genera in family Rosaceae as well as an extremely challenging group with complicated intra-and-inter relationships at species level. These species are characterized by abundant diversity due to the tendency for hybridization, polyploidization, and agamospermy. There is a great deal of disagreement as to the identification, division of sections/subsections and phylogenetic history among a part of researchers. Hence, we assembled the complete chloroplast genome of Rubus cochinchinensis (MN913339) with 156,235 bp in total, composed of one large single copy-region (LSC, 85,845 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,848 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 51,542 bp). This genome contained 129 genes, including 8 rRNAs, 36 tRNAs, and 85 protein-coding genes and corporate CG content was 37.18%. Phylogenetic analysis provided a reliable basis for the divisions of tribes in the Rosaceae.
