The complete chloroplast genome of Korean Pyrus ussuriensis Maxim. (Rosaceae): providing genetic background of two types of P. ussuriensis.

ABSTRACT: Pyrus ussuriensis Maxim. is one of the most important pear species cultivated in Asia, grown in northern China, far-east Russia, Korea, and Japan. Here we completed the chloroplast genome of wild P. ussuriensis collected in Bonghwa-gun, Korea, which was 159,986 bp in length consisting of four subregions: 87,947 bp of large single copy (LSC) and 19,255 bp of small single copy (SSC) regions are separated by 26,392 bp of inverted repeat (IR) regions. The genome contained a total of 130 genes including 85 protein-coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs. The overall GC content was 36.5% and those in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions were 34.2%, 30.4%, and 42.6%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of 14 Pyrus chloroplast genomes provided the diverse genetic background for wild <
