The complete chloroplast genome of Rosa berberifolia

Abstract

The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Rosa berberifolia was assembled from high-throughput Illumina sequencing data. The cp genome of R. berberifolia was 156,886 bp in length with a typical quadripartite circular, containing a pair of inverted repeats (26,047 bp) separated by a large (86,045 bp), and small (18,747 bp) single-copy regions. It contains 129 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, 37 transfer RNA genes, and 1 pseudogene (ycf1). The overall GC content of the whole cp genome was 37.2%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the complete chloroplast genomes suggested that R. berberifolia was sister to R. persica.
