The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Malus prattii (Rosaceae) and its phylogenetic analysis
Abstract:
Malus prattii (Rosaceae) is an endemic species to China. Here, the complete chloroplast genome of M. prattii was obtained by using Illumina pair-end sequencing. The M. prattii complete chloroplast genome was 160,239 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 88,355 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 19,176 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 26,354 bp. The chloroplast genome of Malus prattii contained 112 unique functional genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The overall C + G content of the whole genome was 36.5%. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic analysis suggested a close relationship between M. prattii and M. micromalus.
