The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the shrubby cinquefoil Dasiphora fruticosa (Rosales: Rosaceae)

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome of the shrubby cinquefoil Dasiphora fruticosa (Rosales: Rosaceae) has been assembled from the whole-genome Illumina sequencing data. The circular genome is 152,931 bp in size, and comprises a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,311 bp each, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,182 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,127 bp. It harbors 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes (78 PCG species), 37 tRNA genes (30 tRNA species) and eight rRNA genes (four rRNA species). The nucleotide composition is asymmetric (31.0% A, 19.0% C, 18.3% G and 31.7% T) with an overall A+T content of 62.7%. Phylogenetic analysis agrees well with the current taxonomic framework of the order Rosales, and suggests that D. fruticosa is closely related to taxa of the genus Fragaria within the subfamily Rosoideae.
