Abstract:
Horsfieldia amygdalina is a member of Myristicaceae. The H. amygdalina chloroplast genome is found to be 155,683 bp in length and has a base composition of A (29.99%), G (19.32%), C (19.92%), and T (30.77%). The genome contained two short inverted repeat (IRa and IRb) regions (37,754 bp) which were separated by a large single copy (LSC) region (86,931 bp) and a small single copy (SSC) region (30,998 bp). The genome encodes 121 unique genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 27 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Further, complete chloroplast sequence of H. amygdalina was aligned together with Horsfieldia pandurifolia, Myristica yunnanensis and other Magnoliales and basal angiosperms species which have reported the complete chloroplast sequence. This complete chloroplast genome will provide valuable information for the development of DNA markers for future species resource development and phylogenetic analysis of H. amygdalina.
