Characterisation of the complete chloroplast genome of the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L.

ABSTRACT: Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important grain legume in the human diet and has a role in sustainable agriculture. In this study, we obtained the complete chloroplast genome sequence of common bean using BGISEQ-500 sequencing. Its chloroplast genome size has 155,622 bp, containing a large single copy region (84,924 bp), a small single copy region (18,570 bp) and a pair of IR regions (26,064 bp). The overall GC contents of the chloroplast genome were 37.9%. This circular genome contains 131 annotated genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNAs, and 8 rRNAs. The phylogenetic analysis using maximum likelihood (ML) method showed that Common bean has the closest relationship with Phaseolus coccineus L. This complete chloroplast genomes can be subsequently u
