The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Metabriggsia ovalifolia W. T. Wang (Gesneriaceae), a national key protected plant endemic to Karst areas in China.

ABSTRACT: Metabriggsia ovalifolia W. T. Wang is one of the first-class national protected plants endemic to Karst areas in China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome was sequenced using Illumina pair-end sequencing data. The chloroplast genome was 153,333 bp in length, consisting of a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb: 25,448 bp), separated by a large single copy region (LSC: 84,381 bp) and a small single copy region (SSC: 18,056 bp). The chloroplast genome encodes 131 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer RNA, and eight ribosomal RNA genes. The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome was 37.55%. M. ovalifolia phylogenetic analysis indicated close relationship with Oreocharis mileensis of Gesneriaceae family. These genomic resources will be he
