The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Polypodiodes amoena (Polypodiaceae), an important medical fern

Abstract

Polypodiodes amoena is an important medical fern of Polypodiaceae. Its complete chloroplast genome is obtained through Illumina sequencing, which is 152,067 bp in length with a large single copy (LSC) region (81,187 bp), a small single copy (SSC) region (21,590 bp), and two inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) regions (24,645 bp). The genome encodes 130 genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, 33 tRNA genes, eight rRNA genes, and one pseudogene. ML phylogenetic analysis reveals that P. amoena is clustered with polypodiaceous ferns.
