The complete chloroplast genome of Hylotelephium erythrostictum (Miq.) H. Ohba (Crassulaceae).

ABSTRACT: The species Hylotelephium erythrostictum is well known as an ornamental plant in China. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome (cp) of H. erythrostictum using the next-generation sequencing. It shows a total length of 151,707 bp with typical quadripartite structure. The genome is composed of the large single copy region (LSC) of 83,070 bp, the small single copy region (SSC) of 17,018 bp, and two separated inverted regions (IRs) of 25,793 bp, respectively. It contains 134 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 8 rRNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes. The overall GC content of the cp genome is 37.7%. Maximum likelihood (ML) tree based on ten complete chloroplast genomes of Crassulaceae and one outgroup species suggested a monophyly formed by H. erythrostictum together with Hylotelephium ewersii, which demonstrate a comparably closer phylogenetic relationship. The complete chloroplast genome of this H. erythrostictum provides valuable information and further phylogenetic reconstruction of the Crassulaceae family.
