Abstract:
Ranunculus yunnanensis Franch is endemic in Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces, southwestern China. Here, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of R. yunnanensis. The chloroplast genome is 156,050 bp in length, with 111 encoded genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic reconstruction using the existing data of Ranunculus shows that R. yunnanensis is revealed at the basal position of the marsh buttercup clade. This result has improved a better understanding of the internal relationship of the Ranunculus.
