Abstract
ABSTRACTArracacia xanthorrhiza is an important secondary food crop in South America and Puerto Rico. The lack of crop protection and improvement strategies leads to infections damaging the storage roots. Here, we report the annotated complete chloroplast genome sequence of A. xanthorrhiza as a step toward developing genomic resources for this crop.
Highlights
Arracacia xanthorrhiza is an important secondary food crop in South America and Puerto Rico
CpDNA was extracted from leaf tissues of A. xanthorrhiza according to the protocol described in Shi et al [11] with minor modifications
The current investigation suggests that the A. xanthorrhiza circular chloroplast genome is 143,989 base pairs in length with 37.48% GϩC content
Summary
Arracacia xanthorrhiza is an important secondary food crop in South America and Puerto Rico. CpDNA was extracted from leaf tissues of A. xanthorrhiza according to the protocol described in Shi et al [11] with minor modifications. 1 ng of cpDNA was used to prepare sequencing libraries using Illumina’s NexteraXT DNA sample prep kit. Paired-end (2 ϫ 150 bp) sequencing reactions were performed on Illumina’s MiSeq platform at the Institute of Sustainable Biotechnology, IAUPR, Puerto Rico.
