The complete chloroplast genome of Crataegus scabrifolia (Franch.) Rehd (Rosaceae), a medicinal and edible plant in Southwest China

Figures & data

Figure 1. Plant morphological characteristics of Crataegus scabrifolia. (A) Leaves of this species ovate-lanceolate to ovate-elliptic. (B) The flowers of C. scabrifolia are corymbos or compound corymbos. The photos of C. scabrifolia were taken by the authors in Luoping Mountain, Eryuan County, Yunnan Province, China (coordinates: 99°52′19.15″E, 25°59′53.34″N).

Figure 2. Gene map of the Crataegus scabrifolia plastid genome. Genes drawn inside the circle are transcribed clockwise, and those outside are transcribed counterclockwise. Genes belonging to different functional groups are color coded. The darker gray in the inner circle corresponds to DNA G + C content, while the lighter gray corresponds to A + T content. LSC: large single-copy; SSC: small single-copy; IR: inverted repeat.

Figure 3. The best maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree reconstructed by RAxML ver. 8.0.0 based on complete chloroplast genome sequences from 22 species of Rosaceae, including 9 Crataegus species, Albizia julibrissin, and Cassia fistula as outgroup. The numbers on branches are bootstrap support values from 1,000 replicates.
