Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Xantolis weimingii Huan C. Wang et Feng Yang et al. 2024 (Sapotaceae, Chrysophylloideae) and its phylogenetic implications.

ABSTRACT: Xantolis weimingii is a species recently described in 2024. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of X. weimingii, representing the first assembly of the genome of a Xantolis species. The chloroplast genome of X. weimingii was 158,458 bp in size, comprising a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87,778 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,516 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,082 bp each. A total of 114 distinct genes were annotated, including 75 of which are protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, 4 rRNA genes, and five open reading frames. The Maximum Likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis showed that X. weimingii was sister to other members of the subfamily Chrysophylloideae with strong support.
