ABSTRACT
Dolichandrone spathacea(L. F.) K. Schum. is an excellent tree species for coastal protection forests. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of D. spathacea was obtained through high-throughput sequencing. The length of chloroplast genome was 159,156 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 86,053 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 12,635 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) regions of 30,234 bp. The chloroplast genome with 37.95% GC content, contained 134 genes, including 90 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 36 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis with the reported chloroplast sequences shows that D. spathacea is more closely related to Spathodea campanulata.
ABSTRACT
Acanthus ilicifolius is an excellent mangrove plant. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of A. ilicifolius, a salt tolerant plant of Acanthaceae, was generated. The length of chloroplast genome is 150,758 bp, in which the large-single copy region (LSC) is 82,963 bp, the small-single copy (SSC) region is 17,191 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat (IRa and IRb) regions is 25,302 bp. The chloroplast genome contains 128 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, eight rRNA genes, and 36 tRNAs genes, with a total GC content of 38%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that A. ilicifolius was closely related to A. ebracteatus, both species belonged to Acanthus genus.
