Abstract:
We sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of Zanthoxylum acanthopodium via high-throughput sequencing technology, and analyzed its structural characteristics and phylogenetic relationships. The chloroplast exhibits a genome length of 158,473 bp, including a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) of 27,369 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,629 bp and a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,570 bp. The annotation analysis identified 112 genes, containing 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis showed that Z. acanthopodium was closely related to Z. piperitum and Z. tragodes.
