Abstract:
In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Ixora chinensis was sequenced by next-generation sequencing for the first time. The complete cp genome is 154,787 in length and contained 131 genes, consisting of 86 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The phylogenetic position based on chloroplast genomes suggests that I. chinensis was closely related to I. chinensis (MN850660.1) within the Ixora clade, which may provide useful information for further understanding the evolution of I. chinensis.
