ABSTRACT
We report and characterize the complete plastome of Lonicera gynochlamydea Hemsl. L. gynochlamydea is a shrub, belonging to the family Caprifoliaceae. Our results show that the length of the complete plastome is 154,643 bp, including 131 genes consisting of 84 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The plastome exhibits the typical quadripartite structure and gene content of angiosperms, composed of two inverted repeats (IRs) regions of 23,846 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 88,298 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,653 bp. The total G/C content in L. gynochlamydea plastome is 38.4%. The complete plastome sequence of L. gynochlamydea will make contributions to the conservation genetics of this species as well as to phylogenetic studies in Caprifoliaceae.
