RESUMEN
Lonicera ligustrina is a folk medicinal herb in China and India with highly potential medicinal value. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of L. ligustrina (GenBank accession number: ON968694). The cp genome was 155,330 bp long, with a large single-copy region (LSC) of 88,855 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,647 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 23,914 bp. We also reconstructed the phylogeny of Lonicera using maximum likelihood (ML) method, including our data and previously reported cp genomes of related taxa. The current study indicated that L. ligustrina is sister with the Nintooa clade of subgen. Lonicera.
RESUMEN
Reineckia carnea is an important horticultural and medicinal plant in East Asia. Here, we determined the first complete chloroplast genome of R. carnea using genome skimming approach. The cp genome was 157,059 bp long, with a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,474 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,535 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,525 bp. It encodes 132 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that R. carnea is close related to Rohdea chinensis.
RESUMEN
Hylomecon japonica, a widespread species in East Asia, is a valuable horticultural and medicinal plant. Here, we obtained the first complete sequence of the H. japonica chloroplast genome. The complete cp genome was 160,011 bp long, with a large single-copy region (LSC, 88,165 bp) and a small single copy region (SSC, 18,378 bp) separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 26,734 bp). The cp genome contained 114 unique genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that H. japonica is close related with Coreanomecon hylomeconoides.
