Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Vitis vinifera ‘Guifeimeigui’

Abstract

Vitis vinifera ‘Guifeimeigui’ is a diploid table grape, a Eurasian species. This research first reported the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Vitis vinifera ‘Guifeimeigui’. The size of the complete cp genome is 160,928 bp and its GC content is 37.38%, including a pair of inverted repeats (26,353 bp each) separated by large (89,150 bp) and small (19,072 bp) single-copy regions. It encodes 85 genes, including 40 protein coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), and 8 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA). The Maximum Likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree demonstrated that Vitis vinifera ‘Guifeimeigui’ is close to Vitis vinifera.
