Abstract:
Clematis montana is a medicinal plant commonly used in southwest of China. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of C. montana was sequenced using the Illumina Hiseq 4000 platform. The cp genome of C. montana was 159,523 bp in length with 37.98% overall GC content. This circular molecule had a typical quadripartite structure containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 79,385 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,092 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 31,023 bp. The cp genome contained 135 genes, including 91 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on whole cp genome sequences showed that C. montana was closest to C. alternata.
