Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Corallodiscus flabellatus (Gesneriaceae), a medicinal plant in southwest of China

摘要

Corallodiscus flabellatus is a medicinal plant commonly used in southwest of China. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of C. flabellatus to investigate its phylogenetic relationship in the family Gesneriaceae. The chloroplast genome of C. flabellatus was 156,614?bp in length with 43.2% overall GC content, including a large single copy (LSC) region of 87,429?bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 17,871?bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,657?bp. The cp genome contained 112 genes, including 79 protein coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated C. flabellatus was closely related to Oreocharis mileensis .
