Complete plastome sequence of Rhodoleia championii Hook. f. (Hamamelidaceae)

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome of Rhodoleia championii (Hamamelidaceae) was firstly reported in this study. The complete chloroplast genome of R. championii is 159,115 bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure, consisting of a large single-copy region (LSC, 88,123 bp), a single-copy region (SSC, 18,131 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 26,420 bp). There are 114 genes annotated, including 80 unique protein-coding genes, 4 unique ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. According to the phylogenetic tree of R. championii and the other 9 species, R. championii was closely related to Chunia bucklandioides.
