Abstract
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the Cymbidium hybrid, C. sinense (♀) × C. goeringii (♂) was assembled in this study. The circular genome was 150,149 bp in length with an overall GC content of 37.1% and consisted of a pair of 25,691 bp inverted repeats, and two single-copy regions that were 84,987 bp and 13,780 bp, respectively. Gene annotation analysis identified 109 genes including 75 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA, and 4 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed its closest relationship to Cymbidium sinense, reflecting a maternal inheritance of chloroplasts.
