The complete chloroplast genome of Hydrangea strigosa Rehder (Hydrangeaceae)

摘要

Hydrangea strigosa Rehder is a wild flowering shrub with high ornamental value. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of H. strigosa was characterized from Hiseq (Illumina Co., San Diego, CA) sequencing data. The chloroplast genome of H. strigosa is 157,905?bp in length with a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) (26,127?bp) which are separated by a large single-copy (LSC) (86,897?bp) and a small single-copy regions (SSC) (18,754?bp). It contains 131 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNAs genes, and 8 rRNAs genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 37.80%. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis with the complete chloroplast genomes sequence of 22 species of Hydrangeaceae showed that H. strigosa is closely related to H. davidii .
