Abstract:
In the present study, we reported and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of a moth orchid, Phalaenopsis wilsonii, which is endemic to South China. Its plastid genome size is 145,373 bp, consisting of a large single copy (LSC) region (84,996 bp), a small single-copy region (10,668 bp), and two inverted repeats (IRs) regions (24,855 bp). A total of 122 plastid genes were annotated, comprising 76 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic tree further revealed that P. wilsonii showed a sister relationship with P. lowii within subgenus Parishianae.
