The complete chloroplast genome of Geum macrophyllum (Rosaceae: Colurieae)

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome of Geum macrophyllum is reported and characterized in this study. The chloroplast genome of G. macrophyllum was a circular form with a size of 155,940 bp in length. The genome presented a typical quadripartite structure composed of a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) of 26,152 bp separated by a large single copy (LSC) region of 85,307 bp and a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,329 bp. The genome contained a set of 129 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes, in which 17 were duplicated and 112 were unique. Phylogenetic analysis placed G. macrophyllum as sister to G. triflorum based on current sampling.
