Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Brassica oleracea var. italica and phylogenetic relationships in Brassicaceae.

ABSTRACT: Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is an important B. oleracea cultivar, with high economic and agronomic value. However, comparative genome analyses are still needed to clarify variation among cultivars and phylogenetic relationships within the family Brassicaceae. Herein, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of broccoli was generated by Illumina sequencing platform to provide basic information for genetic studies and to establish phylogenetic relationships within Brassicaceae. The whole genome was 153,364 bp, including two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,197 bp each, separated by a small single copy (SSC) region of 17,834 bp and a large single copy (LSC) region of 83,136 bp. The total GC content of the entire chloroplast genome accounts for 36%, while the GC content in each reg
