Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Prunus mahaleb.

ABSTRACT: Prunus mahaleb (L.) Mill. is a kind of ornamental species which originated from Europe and Western Asia. Here, we use Illumina paired-end sequencing to obtain the complete chloroplast genome of P. mahaleb. The complete cp genome of P. mahaleb with a size of 157,824?bp in length is a circular molecular genome, including a pair of inverted repeat (IR) region of 26,410?bp each, separated by a large single copy (LSC) region of 85,926?bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 19,078?bp. The genome consisted of 129 genes, including 84 protein-codon genes (PCGs), 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The GC content of the whole chloroplast genome is 36.7%. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that P. mahaleb was the closest related to P. cerasoides and P. maximowiczii.
