The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Rubus cochinchinensis

Abstract

Rubus Linnaeus has long been deemed as one of the most diverse genera in family Rosaceae as well as an extremely challenging group with complicated intra-and-inter relationships at species level. These species are characterized by abundant diversity due to the tendency for hybridization, polyploidization, and agamospermy. There is a great deal of disagreement as to the identification, division of sections/subsections and phylogenetic history among a part of researchers. Hence, we assembled the complete chloroplast genome of Rubus cochinchinensis (MN913339) with 156,235 bp in total, composed of one large single copy-region (LSC, 85,845 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,848 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 51,542 bp). This genome contained 129 genes, including 8 rRNAs, 36 tRNAs, and 85 protein-coding genes and corporate CG content was 37.18%. Phylogenetic analysis provided a reliable basis for the divisions of tribes in the Rosaceae.
