The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Malus sieboldii (Rosaceae) and its phylogenetic analysis.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Malus sieboldii belongs to the genus Malus (Rosaceae) and is commonly considered a good rootstock for apple trees. The chloroplast (cp) genome of M. sieboldii was assembled using Illumina HiSeq sequencing. The whole cp genome is 160,168 bp in size, with a typical quadripartite structure consisting of a pair of inverted repeats (IR 52,716 bp), a large single-copy region (LSC 88,267 bp), and a small single-copy region (SSC 19,185 bp). The plastid genome contains 129 genes, 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis showed that M. sieboldii is most closely related to M. hupehensis. The cp genome will provide more information about the taxonomy and cp evolution of the genus Malus.
