Abstract
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Berchemia berchemiifolia, rare plant to Korea, was determined in this study. The total genome size was 160,410 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,514 bp, which were separated by a large single copy (LSC) and small single copy (SSC) of 88,627 bp and 18,755 bp, respectively. The overall GC contents of the chloroplast genome were 37.2%. One hundred twenty nine genes were annotated, including 84 protein coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. In these genes, 18 genes contained one or two introns. The phylogenetic tree showed that Berchemia berchemiifolia was most closely related to Berchemiella wilsonii.
Highlights
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Berchemia berchemiifolia, rare plant to Korea, was determined in this study
