The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Flacourtia jangomas

Abstract

In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Flacourtia jangomas was featured from Illumina pair-end sequencing. In F. jangomas, its length was 156,223 bp, consisting of a large single copy (LSC) region of 84,233 bp, two inverted repeat (IR) copies 27,649 bp and a small single copy (SSC) region of 16,693 bp. The entire GC contents were 37%, and in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions were 35, 31, and 42%, respectively. Flacourtia jangomas has 130 unique genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The chloroplast genomes of 12 species of Salicaceae and 1 species of Euphorbiaceae were used to construct the maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree. It indicated that F. jangomas belongs to Salicaceae and is clustered with Flacourtia indica as sisters.
