The complete chloroplast genome of Vandenboschia striata, a common and widespread filmy fern (Hymenophyllaceae)

Abstract

Vandenboschia striata is a common and widespread filmy fern of Hymenophyllaceae. Its complete chloroplast genome is 147,014 bp in length, including a large single copy (LSC) region of 89,886 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 20,850 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 18,139 bp. Totally, 132 genes are predicted in the cp genome embodies, including 88 protein coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. A maximum-likelihood tree was constructed to explore phylogenetic relationship. The result showed that V. striata was sister to V.speciosa with 100% bootstrap support. The complete chloroplast genome sequences of V. striata would be beneficial to further phylogenetic survey on classification of the related species or genera in Hymenophyllaceae.
