Complete chloroplast genome of Clematis taeguensis (Ranunculaceae), an endemic species from South Korea.

ABSTRACT: The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Clematis taeguensis Y.N.Lee (Ranunculaceae) was determined to be 159,534 bp in length, consisting of large (79,326 bp) and small (18,338 bp) single-copy regions and a pair of identical inverted repeats (30,935 bp). The genome contains 92 protein-coding genes, 32 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 1 pseudogene (infA). Phylogenetic analysis of 19 taxa inferred from the chloroplast genome showed a relationship with C. taeguensis, which is also recognized as a species endemic to the Korean Peninsula. The complete cp genome sequence of C. taeguensis reported here provides important information for future phylogenetic and evolutionary studies in Ranunculaceae.
