Abstract:
Hoya is a remarkable genus with high horticultural ornamental value. In this study, we report and characterize the complete plastid genome sequence of Hoya carnosa. The complete chloroplast genome was 176,340 bp in length, which includes a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 41,381 bp separated by a large single copy region (LSC) 91,281 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) 2,297 bp. Interestingly, IRs expanded into SSC, with the result that most of the genes in SSC were duplicated. This chloroplast genome contained 110 genes, including 76 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The complete plastome sequence of H. carnosa will provide some useful information for future phylogenetic study of Hoya and its horticultural application.
