The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Liparis japonica (Orchidaceae).

ABSTRACT: The Orchidaceae contains numerous species with great ecological and economic values. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Liparis japonica was presented by next-generation sequencing technologies. The cpDNA is 152,084?bp in length with a large single copy region (LSC) of 85,398?bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 14,774?bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 25,956?bp. It contains 132 genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 7 pseudogenes. The overall GC content is 37.0%, while the corresponding values in the LSC, SSC, and IR region are 34.3, 30.0, 43.5%, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis shows that Liparis japonica is sister to Liparis loeselii and the genus Liparis is closely related to Dendrobium.
