Complete chloroplast genome of Ulleung Island endemic pokeweed, Phytolacca insularis (Phytolaccaceae), in Korea

摘要

The first complete chloroplast genome sequences of Korean endemic pokeweed in Ulleung Island, Phytolacca insularis , were reported in this study. The P. insularis plastome was 156,419?bp long, with the large single copy (LSC) region of 86,106?bp, the small single copy (SSC) region of 18,335?bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,989?bp. The plastome contained 132 genes, including 84 protein-coding, eight ribosomal RNA, and 39 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content was 36.8%. Phylogenetic analysis of 13 representative plastomes within the order Caryophyllales suggests that P. insularis is closely related to the species in family Aizoaceae.
