Chloroplast genome data of Luffa acutangula and Luffa aegyptiaca and their phylogenetic relationships.

ABSTRACT: Luffa acutangula and Luffa aegyptiaca are domesticated plants in the family Cucurbitaceae. They are mainly cultivated in the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. The chloroplast genomes of many Cucurbitaceae species were sequenced to examine gene content and evolution. However, the chloroplast genome sequences of L. acutangula and L. aegyptiaca have not been reported. We report the first complete sequences of L. acutangula and L. aegyptiaca chloroplast genomes obtained from Pacific Biosciences sequencing and use them to infer evolutionary relationships. The chloroplast genomes of L. acutangula and L. aegyptiaca are 157,202 and 157,275 bp, respectively. Both genomes possessed the typical quadripartite structure and contained 131 g
