Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Dendrobium findlayanum Par. et Rchb. f. 1874 (Orchidaceae)

Abstract

Dendrobium findlayanum Par. et Rchb. f. 1874 has the high ornamental and medicinal value. Here, we report the first complete chloroplast genome of D. findlayanum. The complete chloroplast genome of D. findlayanum is 153,713 bp in length with 120 genes, including 75 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The total content of GC of the whole genome is 37.46%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that D. findlayanum was closely related to other species in Dendrobium, and this study provides new genetic resources for species identification and phylogenetic analyses in Dendrobium.
