Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Carallia brachiata (Lour.) Merr. (Rhizophoraceae).

ABSTRACT: Carallia brachiata (Lour.) Merr. (1919) is an important medical resource distributed across subtropical Asia. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of C. brachiata was sequenced, revealing a total length of 162,460 bp, including four regions - a large single copy (89,814 bp), a small single copy (18,804 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (26,921 bp each). The overall guanine + cytosine content was 35.76%. In total, 130 genes were annotated within the chloroplast genome, comprising 85 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes. Subsequent phylogenetic analyses revealed that C. brachiata is closely related to Carallia diplopetala.
