Complete Chloroplast Genomes and Phylogenetic Relationships of Bougainvillea spectabilis and Bougainvillea glabra (Nyctaginaceae).

ABSTRACT: Bougainvillea L. (Nyctaginaceae) is a South American native woody flowering shrub of high ornamental, economic, and medicinal value which is susceptible to cold damage. We sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of B. glabra and B. spectabilis, two morphologically similar Bougainvillea species differing in cold resistance. Both genomes showed a typical quadripartite structure consisting of one large single-copy region, one small single-copy region, and two inverted repeat regions. The cp genome size of B. glabra and B. spectabilis was 154,520 and 154,542 bp, respectively, with 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding, 37 transfer RNA, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. In addition, the genomes contained 270 and 271 simple sequence repeats, respectivel
