The complete chloroplast genome of Cannabis sativa variety Yunma 7

Abstract

Cannabis sativa variety Yunma 7 has been widely cultivated for hemp fiber production in Yunnan Province of China. In the present study, we have successfully sequenced the chloroplast genome of Yunma 7. The complete chloroplast genome size is 153,899 bp in length with a GC content of 36.67%. The genome contains a large single copy region (LSC) of 84,046 bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 17,831 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IR) of 26,011 bp. A total of 74 protein-coding genes are annotated in the chloroplast genome, together with 37 tRNAs and 8 rRNAs. Phylogenetic tree reveals that Yunma 7 is closely related to Cannabis hybrid AK Royal Automatic reported by Matielo et al.
