The complete plastome and phylogenetic analysis of Rhoiptelea chiliantha (Juglandaceae)

Abstract

The complete plastome of Rhoiptelea chiliantha was sequenced and assembled in this study. The circular plastome of R. chiliantha is 161,702 bp in size, which contains a large single-copy region (LSC, 90,447 bp), a short single-copy region (SSC, 19,081 bp) and two inverted repeat sequences (IRs, 26,087 bp, each). It is totally comprised of 133 genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA, and 37 transfer RNA. The phylogenetic analysis shows that R. chiliantha is sister to the clade including remaining Juglandaceae species.
