Abstract:
The whole complete chloroplast genome of Lagerstroemia macrocarpa was assembled in this study. Total genome is 152,472 bp in length consisting of two inverted repeats of 17,562 bp separated by a large single-copy region and a small single-copy region of 84,050 bp and 33,295 bp, respectively. This genome contains 112 unique genes including 78 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes and 30 transfer RNA genes. In 78 protein-coding genes, 8 genes (atpF, ndhA, ndhB, petB, petD, rpl16, rpoC1, rps16) contain one intron and three genes with two introns each (clpP, rps12 and ycf3). This newly sequenced chloroplast genome supply highly variable information of polymorphisms within Lagerstroemia species.
