Abstract
The complete chloroplast genome of Sibbaldianthe bifurca Linnaeus was sequenced, assembled and annotated. It is a circular form of 156,734 bp in length, which was separated into four distinct regions, a large single copy (LSC) of 83,450 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,286 bp, two inverted repeats (IR) of 27,499 bp. After annotation, a total of 133 genes were predicted, of which, 87 encode proteins, eight rRNA, 38 tRNA. The evolutionary history, inferred using the Maximum Likelihood (ML) method, indicates that S. bifurca was grouped within Rosaceae, and comprised a clade with Sibbaldianthe adpressa with 100% Bootstrap value.
