Complete chloroplast genome of the oil-bearing shrub Staphylea bumalda DC (Staphyleaceae)

Abstract

Staphylea bumalda DC, belonging to family Staphyleaceae, is a woody understory tree that is both edible and medicinal and produces oil with high economic value. This study reports the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of S. bumalda. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of S. bumalda is 160,319 bp in length with an overall GC content of 32.79%, which is composed of a large single-copy region (LSC: 89,401 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC: 18,834 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IR: 26,042 bp). A total of 130 genes were predicted in this genome, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis based on 14 complete chloroplast sequences from related species revealed that S. bumalda is a sister to S. holocarpa.
