Abstract
Syzygium buxifolium. Hook. Et Arn.1833 is a member of the Myrtaceae family. This species is used in traditional Chinese medicines. It possesses numerous synonyms, reflecting the ambiguity in its taxonomy. The chloroplast genome has been widely used for species identification and phylogenetic analysis. Regrettably, there is a lack of information regarding the chloroplast genome of S. buxifolium. Here, we intend to obtain the chloroplast genome of S. buxifolium to resolve its classification problems. In particular, we utilized Illumina sequencing technology to sequence, GetOrganelle to assemble, and CPGAVAS2 to characterize the chloroplast genome of S. buxifolium. The chloroplast genome of S. buxifolium had a length of 158,581 bp and consisted of 111 unique genes, comprising 78 protein-coding genes, 29 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and four ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. In addition, we identified 86 Simple Sequence Repeats, 345 tandem repetitive sequences, and 34 dispersed repetitive sequences using modules implemented in CPGAVAS2. Lastly, we carried out phylogenetic analysis using Phylosuite. The results indicated a close relationship between S. buxifolium and S. grijsii. This study offers novel genetic data for the molecular identification and subsequent phylogenetic analysis of the Syzygium genus.
