Abstract:
The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Stauntonia hexaphylla, a monotypic genus native to Korea, was determined. The whole cp genome is 158,390 bp in size, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87,115 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,928 bp, separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,174 bp. The cp genome encodes 117 genes, including 79 protein-coding, 38 tRNA-coding, and 8 rRNA-coding genes. The overall GC content is 37.8%. A phylogenetic analysis demonstrated a close relationship between S. hexaphylla and S. obovatifoliola subsp. urophylla. The cp genome will provide new insight into the evolution of Lardizabalaceae.
