The complete chloroplast genome of Tibetia liangshanensis P. C. Li (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae), an endemic species of China

Abstract

The first complete plastid genome (plastome) of a small genus, Tibetia (Ali) H. P. Tsui, was sequenced from T. liangshanensis P. C. Li. The total genome size of T. liangshanensis was 123,372 bp in length, containing 76 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs genes, and four rRNAs. The genome lacked an inverted repeat (IR) region. Its rpl22 and rps16 genes were absent and clpP gene lost two introns. The overall GC content was 34.68%. Phylogenetic analysis of the plastome of T. liangshanensis with other legumes confirmed its phylogenetic position.
