Abstract:
The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Actinidia rufa was determined by next-generation sequencing in this study. The whole cp genome was 156,543 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) of 88,435 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 20,307 bp, which was separated by a pair of 23,900 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The genome contained 131 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes. Two events were found in the Actinidiaceae chloroplast genome. One was the deletion of the clpP gene and the other was the trnfM-CAU gene in the same direction in LSC region. The phylogenetic position of A. rufa was closely clustered with A. chinensis, A. deliciosa as sister species.
