The complete chloroplast genome of Pyrrosia bonii (Polypodiaceae), an important ornamental and medical fern

Abstract

Pyrrosia bonii is an important ornamental and medical fern from Polypodiaceae. Its complete chloroplast genome sequence was characterized through de novo assembly with Illumina sequencing data. The genome size is 158,174 bp, with large single copy (LSC, 82,479 bp) and small single copy (SSC, 21,723 bp) regions separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR, 26,986 bp). A total of 132 genes were identified, including 88 protein coding genes, 35 tRNA genes, eight rRNA genes, and one pseudogene. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree revealed that P. bonii was most closely related to Lepisorus clathratus. The study will greatly facilitate the chloroplast phylogenomics of Polypodiaceae.
