The Complete chloroplast genome of Geodorum densiflorum (Orchidaceae)

Abstract

Geodorum densiflorum is a popular terrestrial orchid in the Southeast Asia. It has high medicinal and ornamental value. In this study, the chloroplast genome of G. densiflorum was determined from BGISEQ-500 sequencing data. The total chloroplast genome was 149,468 bp in length, consisting of a large single copy region (LSC 85,070 bp), a small single copy region (SSC 13,290 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IRA and IRB 25,554 bp). The complete chloroplast genome contains 132 genes, including 76 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. In addition, the phylogenetic analysis indicates that G. densiflorum was sister to Eulophia zollingeri. The chloroplast genome will contribute to the research and conservation of G. densiflorum.
