The complete chloroplast genome sequence of actinidia valvata

Abstract

In this study, we first presented the complete chloroplast genome of Actinidia valvata by using Illumina Novaseq sequencing. Its complete chloroplast genome is 156,596 bp in length, containing a large single copy region of 88,477 bp and a small single copy region of 20,379 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeat regions of 23,870 bp. The chloroplast genome contains 112 unique genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA, and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast genome sequences of ten plants from the family Actinidiaceae showed that A. valvata is more closely related to A. polygama than other members.
