The complete chloroplast genome of Lonicera oblata, a critically endangered species endemic to North China

摘要

Lonicera oblata , a critically endangered species endemic to North China with about 30 wild individuals, has long been ignored for conservation since its publication because of little attention on its living situation. In this study, we characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of L. oblata . The cp genome was 155,481?bp in length, included a large single-copy (LSC) region of 89,139?bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,676?bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 23,833?bp each. The genome contains 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic position of L. oblata was also investigated based on cp genome phylogeny of Lonicera representatives. This study is valuable for molecular phylogenetic study and conservation of Lonicera and related taxa.
