Abstract:
Rhamnus globosa Bunge is a small shrub that can be used in the treatment of swollen poison, because of the antimicrobial activity. Here, we constructed the complete chloroplast genome of the R. globosa using Illumina sequencing technology. The circular cp genome was 160,642 bp in size, and comprises a large single-copy (LSC) region of 88,889 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,897 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IR) of 26,428 bp. The GC content was 37.14% overall, with 35.01%, 31.42%, and 42.75% for the LSC, SSC, and IR regions, respectively. The plastome comprised 129 unique genes including 81 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs. The ML phylogenetic analysis based on 44 chloroplast genomes in Rosales showed a strong sister relationship with Berchemia species.
