The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Glochidion chodoense (Phyllanthaceae), an endemic to Korea

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Glochidion chodoense, an endemic species to Korea, was determined by Illumina pair-end sequencing. The complete cp genome was 157,085 bp in length, containing a large single copy (LSC) of 85,304 bp and a small single copy (SSC) of 17,635 bp, which were separated by a pair of 27,073 bp inverted repeats (IRs). A total of 111 unique genes were annotated, including 78 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Among these genes, 18 genes contained an intron. The ML tree showed that G. chodoense was most close to Erythoroxylum novogranatense with high support.
