The complete chloroplast genome of Clerodendrum japonicum (Thunb.) Sweet, a traditional Chinese medicinal plant.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Clerodendrum japonicum (Thunb.) sweet, a member of Verbenaceae, is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical Asia. Herein, we reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. japonicum. The size of the chloroplast genome is 152,171 bp in length, including a large single-copy region (LSC) of 83,415 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 17,318 bp, which was separated by a pair of inverted repeated regions of 25,719 bp. The C. japonicum chloroplast genome encodes 133 genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic tree showed that C. japonicum is closely related to C. mandarinorum and C. yunnanense.
