The first complete chloroplast genome of Adiantum nelumboides (Pteridaceae), a rare and endangered fern species.

ABSTRACT: The complete chloroplast genome of a rare and endangered fern species Adiantum nelumboides was sequenced. The genome has a typical quadripartite structure with a length of 149,956 bp and 42.8% GC content. We annotated totally 131 genes, including 87 protein genes, 36 tRNA, and 8 rRNAs. This work provides crucial information for its phylogenetic and conservation of a critically endangered fern and its value as an ornamental and medicinal plant resource.
