Abstract:
Zingiber mioga (Thunb.) Rosc. is an important plant species in tropical Asia widely used for decoration, and in traditional food and medicine. In this study, we reported for the first time the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Z. mioga. The assembled chloroplast genome was 159,868 bp long with a typical quadripartite structure consisting of two reverse repeated regions of 26,652 bp in length, separated by a large single-copy (89,431 bp) and a small single-copy (17,133 bp) region. We annotated 113 genes including 78 protein-coding, 31 tRNA and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis with 27 other species showed that Z. mioga clustered with Z. officinale and Z. spectabile, all belonging to the Zingiberaceae family of the Zingiberales order. The results of this study will facilitate the breeding process and conservation of the species.
