Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence Of Prunus Davidiana (Rosaceae)

Abstract

Prunus davidiana is a Chinese wild peach species belonging to the family Rosaceae. In this study, we first assembled the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. davidiana by Illumina paired-end reads data, then carried out phylogenetic analysis. The P. davidiana cp genome was 158,055 bp, containing a large single copy region (LSC) of 86,248 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 19,047 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,380 bp. The cp genome contained 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The result of the phylogenetic analysis showed that P. davidiana is closely related to P. mongolica.
