The complete chloroplast genome of Panisea uniflora (Lindl.) Lindl. (Orchidaceae)

Abstract

Panisea was a small genus in Orchidaceae including 12 species, while its generic relationships had been unclear. Here, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence and the features of Panisea uniflora to provide molecular data for further systematic research. This complete cp genome was 159,341 bp in length and presented a typical quadripartite structure including one large single-copy region (LSC, 87,166 bp), one small single-copy region (SSC, 18,781 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IR, 26,697 bp, each). The cp genome encoded 132 genes, of which 113 were unique genes. Besides, a maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis indicated that P. uniflora was mostly related to Pholidota imbricata in tribe Arethuseae.
