Phylogenetic analysis of the complete chloroplast genome of Prunus persica seed as the Chinese herbal medicine to China

摘要

The seed of Prunus persica is a kind of commonly used Chinese herbal medicine in orthopedics at China. In this study, we assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast genome of P. persica . The chloroplast genome size was 157,704?bp as a circle, which contained a large single-copy region (LSC, 85,883?bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 19,061?bp) and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IR, 26,380?bp). The overall nucleotide composition is: 31.1% of A (49,092?bp), 32.1% T (50,709?bp), 18.8% C (29,625?bp) and 18.0% G (28,278?bp), with a total G?+?C content of the chloroplast genome 36.8% and A?+?T of 63.2%. The chloroplast genome of P. persica contains 123 genes, which included 78 protein-coding genes (PCG), 37 transfer RNA (tRNAs) and 8 ribosome RNA (rRNAs). Furthermore, the phylogenetic analysis based on 14 plants species confirmed the position of P. persica closely related to Prunus mongolica .
