Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of the Endemic and Endangered Plant Dendropanax oligodontus: Genome Structure, Comparative and Phylogenetic Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Dendropanax oligodontus, which belongs to the family Araliaceae, is an endemic and endangered species of Hainan Island, China. It has potential economic and medicinal value owing to the presence of phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, etc. The analysis of the structure and characteristics of the D. oligodontus chloroplast genome (cpDNA) is crucial for understanding the genetic and phylogenetic evolution of this species. In this study, the cpDNA of D. oligodontus was sequenced for the first time using next-generation sequencing methods, assembled, and annotated. We observed a circular quadripartite structure comprising a large single-copy region (86,440 bp), a small single-copy region (18,075 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (25,944 bp). The total leng
