Abstract:
We determined the complete chloroplast genome of Pinguicula alpina, a carnivorous plant using high-throughput sequencing technology. The deduced plastome is a closed circular molecule of 147,479 bp with a quadripartite structure, including a large single-copy region (LSC) of 81,937 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 13,180 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 26,181 bp. It contains 131 genes, comprising 82 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The GC content of the plastome, LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 38.1%, 36.1%, 31.4% and 43.0%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that P. alpina was related to P. ehlersiae.
