Complete chloroplast genome of Cerasus kumanoensis (Rosaceae), a wild flowering cherry endemic to Kii Peninsula, Japan.

ABSTRACT: Cerasus kumanoensis is a recently described wild cherry species from the Kii Peninsula, Japan. Here we determined the first complete chloroplast genome of C. kumanoensis using genome skimming approach. The cp genome was 157,898?bp long, with a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,926?bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 19,070?bp separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,451?bp. It encodes 129 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. Besides, we reconstructed the phylogeny of Prunus using maximum likelihood (ML) method, including our data and previously reported cp genomes of related taxa. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that C. kumanoensis is close related with a group including Prunus takesimensis and P. speciosa.
