Abstract:
Jeffersonia diphylla, which belongs to Berberidaceae, is a perennial herb native to North America. In the present study, we determined the first plastome of J. diphylla using genome skimming approach. The pastome of J. diphylla is 152,842 bp in length, with a large single copy region (LSC) of 82,266 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 19,284 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,646 bp. It encodes 113 unique genes, consisting of 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes, with 19 duplicated genes in the IR regions. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that J. diphylla is sister to Plagiorhegma dubium, subsequently is sister to a clade including Diphylleia, Sinopodophyllum, Podophyllum, Dysosma, Achlys, and Epimedium.
