Abstract:
Protea cynaroides 'Red Rex' (James Petiver 1698) is a perennial evergreen shrub of the Proteaceae family valued for ornamental and medicinal uses, yet its genomic data remain unexplored. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome sequence (157,894 bp) of P. cynaroides 'Red Rex'. The genome exhibits a quadripartite structure, including a large single-copy region (86,427 bp), a short single-copy region (18,553 bp), and two inverted repeats (26,457 bp each), with 38.06% GC content. A total of 130 genes were annotated. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed close relationships within Proteaceae, advancing insights into the genetics and evolution of Protea.
