Abstract:
Knema conferta is a member of Myristicaceae. The K. conferta chloroplast genome is found to be 155,744 bp in length and has a base composition of A (30.02%), G (19.30%), C (19.90%), and T (30.78%). The genome contained two short inverted repeat (IRa and IRb) regions (48,052 bp) which were separated by a large single copy (LSC) region (86,926 bp) and a small single copy (SSC) region (20,770 bp). The genome encoded a total of 128 unigenes, including 89 protein-coding genes, 31 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Further, complete chloroplast sequence of K. conferta was aligned together with 2 species of Knema and 5 basal angiosperms species which have reported the complete chloroplast sequence. This complete chloroplast genome will provide valuable information for the development of DNA markers for future species resource development and phylogenetic analysis of K. conferta.
