Abstract
:Leontice incerta, which belongs to Berberidaceae, is an endangered species in China. In this study, the chloroplast (cp) genome of L. incerta was assembled using genome skimming sequencing and the phylogeny of Berberidaceae was reconstructed based on whole cp genome. The cp genome of L. incerta is 156,923 bp in length, comprising two copies of IR (26,121 bp) regions separated by the LSC (85,622 bp) and SSC (19,059 bp) regions. The cp genome encodes 112 unique genes, consisting of 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes, with 19 duplicated genes in the IR regions. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that L. incerta is sister to Gymnospermium microrrhynchum, subsequently is sister to Nandia domestica.
Highlights
Leontice L. is a small perennial, tuberous and herbaceous genus in Berberidaceae, containing merely four species named L. armeniaca Belanger, L. ewersmanni Bunge, L. incerta Pall. and L. leontopetalum L. (Wu et al, 2011)
The complete chloroplast genome sequence was registered into GenBank with the accession number MH940295
The raw data were filtered by quality with Phred score
