The complete chloroplast genome of Aucuba obcordata (Rehder) Fu ex W. K. Hu et Soong (Garryaceae) from China

摘要

Aucuba obcordata is an endemic species and traditional Chinese medicine in China. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of A. obcordata was generated by de novo assembly using whole genome next generation sequencing. The complete chloroplast genome was 157,993 bp in length, contained four parts: a large single copy (LSC) region of 87317 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 18483 bp, and two inverted repeat (IRs) regions of 26,094 bp each. The genome annotation contained a total of 113 genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The overall GC content was 37.8%. Phylogenetic analysis of chloroplast genomes clustered A. obcordata with Eucommia ulmoides Oliver.
