The complete chloroplast genome of Mitreola yangchunensis (Loganiaceae)

Abstract

The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Mitreola yangchunensis was sequenced and assembled for the first time. The genome is 154,665 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,351 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,218 bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,548 bp. It contains 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The overall GC content is 37.9%, while the corresponding values of LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 35.9, 32.0, and 43.4%, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses using complete cp genomes showed that M. yangchunensis is most closely related to Mitrasacme pygmaea in Loganiaceae, and Gelsemiaceae and Loganiaceae form a single cluster with high support value.
