The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the Siraitia Grosvenorii (Cucurbitaceae).

ABSTRACT: Siraitia grosvenorii is a famous Chinese plant used in traditional food and medicine with pharmacological effects. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of S. grosvenorii has been determined in this study. The total genome size is 158,834?bp in length and contains a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,288?bp, which were separated by large single-copy (LSC) and small single-copy (SSC) of 87,702?bp and 18,556?bp length, respectively. A total of 131 genes were predicted including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that S. grosvenorii belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae. The complete chloroplast genome of S. grosvenorii would play a significant role in the development of molecular markers in plant phylogenetic and population genetic studies.
