Abstract:
Prunus glandulosa Thunb. is an ornamental species in the genus Prunus (Rosaceae) mainly distributed in eastern China. It is often cultivated in gardens, roadsides, or shrub clusters. It looks like a cherry but resembles to prunes as well. We obtained the complete chloroplast genome of P. glandulosa using next-generation sequencing technology. The chloroplast genome is 158.078 bp in length with typical tetrad structure. It includes two copies of inverted repeats (IRs, 26.385 bp), a large single copy (LSC, 86.269 bp) and a small single copy (SSC, 19.039 bp). The total GC content is 36.7%, including 85 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 36 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), and eight ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA). The maximum-likelihood phylogeny using the full length of chloroplast genomes indicates that P. glandulosa is closer to prunes than to cherries.
