Abstract
Rosa sterilis is an economically and important fruit that is extensively grown in Southwestern China. In this study, we determined the complete chloroplast genome of R. sterilis using high-throughput Illumina sequencing. The chloroplast genome of R. sterilis is 156,561 bp in size, containing a large single-copy region (LSC)(85,701 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC) (18,746 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (each one of 26,057 bp). The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome is 37.23%, while the corresponding values of GC contents of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 35.20%, 31.37%, and 42.70%, respectively. The chloroplast genome of R. sterilis contains 130 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic maximum-likelihood tree revealed that Rosa chinensis or Rosa chinensis var. spontanea is the closest related to R. sterilis in the phylogenetic relationship. This complete chloroplast genome can be further used for genomic studies, evolutionary analyses, and genetic engineering studies of the family Rosaceae.
