Abstract

Dendrobium hancockii Rolfe is a rare and endangered species endemic to China, with great medicinal value. Here, the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of D. hancockii was reported and characterized. The cpDNA exhibited the typical quadripartite structure of four parts: a long single-copy region, a short single-copy region and two inverted repeats. It encodes 106 genes, consisting of 72 unique protein-coding genes, 30 unique tRNA gene, and 4 unique rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that D. hancockii is basal-most species for the sect. Dendrobium.
