Abstract:
The first complete chloroplast genome sequence of Cipadessa cinerascens were reported in this study. The cpDNA of C. cinerascens is 160,590 bp in length, contains a large single copy region (LSC) of 87,855 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,623 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 27,056 bp. The genome contains 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 37.7%. Phylogenetic analysis of 11 chloroplast genomes within the family Meliaceae suggests that C. cinerascens is closely related to Azadirachta indica.
