Complete chloroplast genome of carnation (Caryophyllaceae: Dianthus caryophyllus L.)

摘要

The complete carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) chloroplast (cp) genome was determined and analyzed in this study. The circular cp genome had a total length of 149,595?bp, made up of a pair of 24,808?bp inverted repeats (IRa,b) separated by a large single-copy region (LSC) of 82,883?bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 17,096?bp. The overall GC content of the genome is 36.32%. The annotated genome contained 112 unique genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, four ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 tRNA genes. Among these, 16 are duplicated in the inverted repeat regions, and 17 genes contain introns. With the new complete cp genome of carnation, we were also able to correct improperly assembled cp genomes from published data that had indicated a missing one rpl2 copy in the IR regions.
