The complete chloroplast genome of Malvaviscus penduliflorus (Malvaceae)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Abstract In this study, we assembled the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Malvaviscus penduliflorus using high-throughput Illumina sequencing reads. The resulting plastome assembly displayed a typical quadripartite structure with a total length of 160,332 bp, containing a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 26,313 bp separated by a large single-copy region (LSC) of 88,750 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,956 bp. The M. penduliflorus cp genome contained 128 genes, and its overall GC content was 36.96%. Phylogenetic analysis among M. penduliflorus and five other Malvaceae species demonstrated that M. penduliflorus was closely related to Urena procumbens and Hibiscus cannabinus. The M. penduliflorus cp genome presented in this study will lay a good foundation for further genetic and genomic studies of the genus Malvaviscus as well as Malvaceae.
