Abstract:
The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Spathodea campanulata was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 158,001 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 84,923 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 12,566 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 30,256 bp. The genome contains 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 37.8% and the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 35.9, 32.6, and 41.7%, respectively. Further, phylogenomic analysis showed that S. campanulata clustered in a unique clade in family Bignoniaceae.
