Abstract:
Mallotus apelta is a perennial species of Euphorbiaceae widely distributed in subtropical East and Southeast Asia. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed its complete chloroplast genome. The genome was 164,055 bp in length and exhibited a typical quadripartite structure, comprising an LSC region of 88,899 bp, an SSC region of 18,494 bp, and two IR regions of 28,331 bp each. A total of 124 genes were annotated. Comparative analyses revealed conserved genome organization and IR boundaries among Mallotus species. Phylogenetic analysis showed that M. apelta was closely related to M. paniculatus, providing valuable resources for Mallotus phylogenetic studies.
