The complete chloroplast genome of Spergularia marina (Caryophyllaceae) and its phylogenetic analysis.

ABSTRACT: Spergularia marina (L.) Griseb, 1843 (Caryophyllaceae) is a halophytic plant widely distributed along the southwestern coast of the Korean Peninsula. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of S. marina was determined using next-generation sequencing (NGS). The chloroplast genome of S. marina is 152,460 bp in length with 36.7% GC content. It comprises a large single-copy (LSC; 83,321), a small single copy (SSC; 17,205 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs; 25,967 bp) with a typical quadripartite structure. It consists of 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNAs, and 37 transfer RNAs. Phylogenetic analysis using complete chloroplast genomes showed that among the 17 Caryophyllaceae species, S. marina is most closely related
