The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Viburnum Japonicum (Adoxaceae), an evergreen broad-leaved shrub.

ABSTRACT: The wax-leafed Viburnum japonicum (Adoxaceae) is an evergreen shrub distributed in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. We sequenced its complete chloroplast (cp) genome to examine its phylogenetic relationship within Dipsacales. This genome is 158,614?bp long and features a large single-copy region (87,059?bp) and a small single-copy region (18,523?bp), separated by two inverted-repeat regions (26,516?bp each). It contains 128 genes, including 84 coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 36 tRNAs. The overall GC content is 38.1%. Our phylogenetic tree showed that V. japonicum is closely related to V. utile and is clustered together with four species in the family Adoxaceae.
