Abstract:
Pellionia scabra Benth. 1861 (Urticaceae) is distributed in east and southeast Asian countries, including China, Vietnam, and Japan, and has important applications in construction, medicine, and the food industry. We sequenced the genome using Illumina DNA sequencing technology. The genome was 153,220 bp long. Annotation of the genome showed that it encoded 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. In addition, 15 of the genes contained a single intron and two contained two introns. Furthermore, rps12 consists of 3 exons that are expected to be trans-spliced together. Subsequent phylogenetic analysis revealed that P. scabra is closely related to the Elatostema species (i.e. E. stewardii [MZ292972], E. dissectum [MK227819], and E. laevissimum var. laevissimum [MN189961]).
