The complete chloroplast genome of Melicope pteleifolia (Rutaceae), a traditional medicinal plant in Southeast China.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Meclicope pteleifolia is a traditional medicinal herb and edible plant in Southeast China. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome of M. pteleifolia. The chloroplast genome is 159,012 bp in length with 38.33% GC content, containing a small single-copy (SSC) region (18,609 bp), a large single-copy (LSC) region (851 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs: 27,640 bp each). A total of 131 genes were predicted, including 84 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 2 pseudogenes. Phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast genomes of 17 plant species shows that M. pteleifolia is closest to Zanthoxylum and Casimiroa. These complete chloroplast genomes can be subsequently used for researches of Rutaceae.
