The complete chloroplast genome sequence of medicinal plant, Sedum oryzifolium

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Sedum oryzifolium was characterized from Illumina pair-end sequencing. The chloroplast genome of S. oryzifolium was 149,609 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 80,825 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 13,126 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 27,829 bp. The overall GC content is 30.55%, while the correponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 63.5%, 68.3%, and 60.2%, respectively. The genome contains 116 complete genes, including 78 protein-coding genes (58 protein-coding gene species), 30 tRNA genes (18 tRNA species) and 8 rRNA genes (4 rRNA species). The Neighbour-joining phylogenetic analysis showed that S. oryzifolium and Sedum sarmentosum clustered together as sisters to other Sedum species.
