Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of the Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Shepody (Solanaceae).

ABSTRACT: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), a species of the family Solanaceae, is the fourth most important food crop worldwide. Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Shepody is a long, smooth, white-skinned potato cultivar with medium green leaves. It has good specific gravity and boils and bakes well. To support more molecular data for breeding of S. tuberosum, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of S. tuberosum L. cv. Shepody was determined using the next-generation sequencing. In leaves, the chloroplast genome accounts for 3.88% of the total genome. The entire cp genome was determined to be 155,296 bp in length. It contained large single-copy (LSC) and small single-copy (SSC) regions of 85,737 and 18,373 bp, respectively, which were separated by a pair of 25,593 bp inverted repea
