Complete chloroplast genome of the wild-type Monimopetalum chinense (Celastraceae).

ABSTRACT: Monimopetalum chinense (Celastraceae), belonging to the monotypic genus, is an endangered species endemic to eastern China. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of M. chinense was determined using next-generation sequencing technology. Total length of the cp genome is 159,208?bp, which contained a large single-copy (LSC) of 88,024?bp in length and a small single copy (SSC) of 18,662?bp, separated by two inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,261?bp. The cp DNA is structured with 133 genes, comprising 88 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that Monimopetalum is closely related to the genus Catha and Euonymus with in the Celastraceae.
