The complete chloroplast genome of Akebia trifoliata subsp. australis (Lardizabalaceae), a medicinal plant in China.

ABSTRACT: Akebia trifoliata subsp. australis (Diels) T.Shimizu is a medicinal plant in China. Here, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of A. trifoliata subsp. australis was assembled and characterized as a resource for future genetic studies. The whole cp genome was 157,952 bp in length, containing of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,596 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 19,060 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,148 bp. The new sequence possessed total 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. The nucleotide composition was asymmetric (30.3% A, 19.7% C, 19.0% G and 31.0% T) with an overall GC content of 38.7%. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis based on 10 cp genomes indicated that
