Complete chloroplast genome sequence of the mangrove species Kandelia obovata and comparative analyses with related species.

ABSTRACT: As one of the most cold and salt-tolerant mangrove species, Kandelia obovata is widely distributed in China. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome sequence K. obovata (Rhizophoraceae) obtained via next-generation sequencing, compare the general features of the sampled plastomes of this species to those of other sequenced mangrove species, and perform a phylogenetic analysis based on the protein-coding genes of these plastomes. The complete chloroplast genome of K. obovata is 160,325 bp in size and has a 35.22% GC content. The genome has a typical circular quadripartite structure, with a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions 26,670 bp in length separating a large single-copy (LSC) region (91,156 bp) and a small single-cope (SSC) region (15,829 bp).
