Abstract
The whole chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Flacourtia rukam has been characterized from Illumina pair-end sequencing. The complete cp genome was 155,582bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 83,854 bp and a small-single copy region (SSC) of 16,598 bp, which were separated by a pair of 27,565 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). The genome contained 121 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of F. rukam cp genome is 36.9%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.7%, 30.8%, and 42.1%, respectively. Further, phylogenetic analysis suggested that the location of F. rukam is out of the Idesia polycarpa and is an outgroup to the genera of Salix and Populus.
