The complete chloroplast genome of Catalpa ‘Bairihua’, a hybrid variety with multi season flowering

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome of Catalpa ‘Bairihua’ a hybrid variety with multi season flowering obtained from hybrid progeny of C. bungei ‘Luoqiu Sihao’ (C. bungei ‘01’ × C. bungei ‘Changguo Qiu’) and C. fargesii f. duclouxii was first sequenced with the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform. Which was 158,210 bp in length with a typical quadruple structure and contained a large single copy (LSC: 84,928 bp) region and a small single copy (SSC: 12,664 bp) region that were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRa, b: 30,309 bp) region. The GC content of the whole chloroplast genome is 38.1%. A total of 130 genes was annotated in the complete chloroplast genome, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8rRNA genes. ML phylogenetic analysis by comparing with 39 chloroplast genomes of the Bignoniaceae indicated that Catalpa ‘Bairihua’ was close to Tecomaria capensis.
