Abstract:
The wild raspberry species Rubus sumatranus Miq 1861 is a promising resource for breeding thermotolerant cultivars. Its complete chloroplast genome spans 155,935 base pairs (bp), featuring the classic quadripartite structure: an 18,729 bp small single-copy region, an 85,662 bp large single-copy region, and two 25,772 bp inverted repeats. A total of 130 genes were identified, including 86 protein-coding, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. A maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree based on chloroplast genomes shows that R. sumatranus, within the subgenus Idaeobatus, is sister to the subgenus Batothamnus. This confirms the polyphyletic nature of the subgenus Idaeobatus. The chloroplast genome assembly of R. sumatranus enhances our understanding of its evolutionary history.
