Abstract

Fibraurea recisa Pierre 1885, which belongs to the family Menispermaceae, is an important medicinal herb in Yunnan, China. Despite its importance, genetic studies on this species remain rare. Therefore, in the current study, we assembled the complete chloroplast genome of F. recisa. Results showed that the complete genome was 161,671 bp in length, including a large single-copy region (LSC, 91,071 bp), small single-copy region (SSC, 20,858 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb, 24,871 bp). The genome consisted of 124 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that F. recisa was most closely related to species of Tinospora within Menispermaceae. Our complete chloroplast genome of F. recisa should contribute to the genetic resource assessment of this species as well as its future conservation and utilization.
