Complete chloroplast genome sequence of a medicinal landrace citrus Jinkyool (Citrus sunki Hort. ex Tanaka) in Jeju Island, Korea

Abstract

Citrus sunki (Jinkyool) is a medicinal landrace citrus belonging to the Rutaceae family. We determined the complete chloroplast genome (160,699 bp) of C. sunki CRS0085 in Jeju Island, Korea. The genome is composed of four distinct parts; a large single copy of 87,918 bp, a small single copy of 21,355 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions of 25,713 bp. A total of 134 genes including 89 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes were identified. The phylogenetic tree showed that C. sunki CRS0085 has the closest relationship with C. reticulata within genus Citrus.
