Abstract:
Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi is a taxonomically and horticulturally important moth orchid. In this study, we report and characterize the complete plastid genome sequence of P. cornu-cervi for the first genomic resources in section Polychilos. Its complete plastome is 147,241 bp in length and contains two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,005bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,714 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 11,517 bp. The plastome contains 110 genes, consisting of 76 unique protein-coding genes, 30 unique tRNA genes, and 4 unique rRNA genes. It also shows the typical characteristics of Phalaenopsis chloroplast genome, while all ndh genes are non-functional. The complete plastome sequence of P. cornu-cervi will provide a useful resource for future phylogenetic study of Phalaenopsis and its garden utilization.
