Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Murraya paniculata (Rutaceae): a widely used folk medicinal herb

Murraya paniculate, is traditionally used for management of gut, air way and cardiovascular disorders. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of M. paniculata based on next-generation sequencing and used the data to assess genomic resources. The chloroplast genome of M. paniculata is 160,280 bp in length consisting of large and small single-copy regions of length 87,605 and 18,609 bp, separated by two IR regions of 27,033 bp. The overall GC content was 38.61%. De novo assembly and annotation showed the presence of unique genes with 85 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. A maximum-likelihood phylogenomic analysis showed that M. paniculata was closely related to M. caloxylon.
