Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Clematis potaninii (Ranunculaceae), a medicinal and ornamental plant

Abstract

Clematis potaninii Maxim. is an important medicinal and ornamental plant. The length of C. potaninii chloroplast genome was 159,691 bp, with a large single-copy region of 79,503 bp, a small single-copy region of 18,106 bp, and two inverted repeat regions of 31,041 bp each. The chloroplast genome contains 138 genes including 94 protein-coding, eight rRNA, and 36 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. potaninii is closely related to C. alternata.
