The chloroplast genome of Taxus sumatrana, an endangered medicinal tree from Indonesia.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Taxus sumatrana is an endangered and medicinally important gymnosperm native to Southeast Asia, facing increasing threats due to overexploitation and habitat loss. Despite its ecological and pharmacological significance, its chloroplast (cp.) genome remains poorly characterized. This study aims to report the complete cp. genome of T. sumatrana, providing a comprehensive analysis of its structure, gene content, and phylogenetic placement. The findings offer valuable genomic resources to support future research in plant evolution and conservation.

Result

The circular cp. genome of T. sumatrana is 129,227 bp in length. Consistent with other members of the Taxus genus, it lacks the typical inverted repeat (IR) regions commonly found in chloroplast genomes. A total of
