Complete chloroplast genome sequence of the wild diploid potato relative, Solanum brevicaule

Abstract

Solanum brevicaule is a wild tuber-bearing species belonging to Solanaceae family. The complete chloroplast genome of S. brevicaule was constituted by de novo assembly using a small amount of whole genome sequencing data. The chloroplast genome of S. brevicaule was the circular DNA molecule with a length of 155,531 bp and consisted of 85,981 bp of large single copy, 18,352 bp of small single copy, and 25,599 bp of a pair of inverted repeat regions. A total of 158 genes were annotated including 105 protein-coding genes, 45 tRNA genes and eight rRNA genes. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis with 30 Solanaceae species revealed that S. brevicaule is grouped with other Solanum species including S. tuberosum.
