Abstract:
Prunus tomentosa belongs to subgenus Lithocerasus in family Rosaceae. It is native to northern China and has become a staple back yard garden plant in Russia and much of Eastern Europe. In this study, de novo assembly with low coverage whole genome sequencing facilitated to generate the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. tomentosa. The genome size is 158,356 bp in length. It exhibited a typical quadripartite structure comprising a large single copy region (LSC, 86,630 bp), a small single copy region (SSC, 19,010 bp) and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs, 26,358 bp each). A total of 115 genes were predicted including 82 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that P. tomentosa is most closely related to P. mume suggesting the phylogenetic relationship between P. tomentosa and subgenus prunpphora.
