The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Phedimus Kamtschaticus (Crassulaceae) in Korea

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Phedimus kamtschaticus, which commonly occurs in northeastern Asia was determined. The genome size was 151,652 bp, composed of one pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,977 bp, which were separated by one large single-copy (LSC; 83,010 bp) and one small single-copy (SSC; 16,688 bp) region. The chloroplast genome contained 132 genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content was 37.8%. Phylogenetic analysis of the complete chloroplast genome suggested that P. kamtschaticus was most closely related to Ulleung Island insular endemic P. takesimensis.
