Abstract:
The complete chloroplast genome of Convolvulus arvensis was reconstructed by reference-based assembly using Illumina paired-end data. The assembled plastome is 153,234 base pairs (bp) in length, including a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 22,662 bp each, a large single-copy region (LSC) of 89,059 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 19,651 bp. A total of 115 genes were predicted from the chloroplast genome, including 74 protein coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of C. arvensis chloroplast genome was 37.7%. Phylogenetic analysis with several reported chloroplast genomes showed that C. arvensis is closely clustered with Operculina macrocarpa. The complete chloroplast genome of C. arvensis provides new insight into the evolutionary and genomic studies of Convolvulaceae.
