biostudies-literature00480Unknown6(7)Du Z<i>Cymbidium dayanum</i>, a wild orchid species in the Orchid family (Orchidaceae), is considered highly valuable because of its long flowering period and beautiful plant shape. We sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of <i>C. dayanum</i> using the Illumina Hiseq platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA). The size of the <i>C. dayanum</i> chloroplast genome is 155,408 bp, with an average GC content of 36.76%. This chloroplast genome has containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,189 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,991 bp, and two inverted (IRa and IRb) repeat regions of two 26,614 bp. A total of 118 unique genes were annotated, including 76 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. A maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree indicated that <i>C. dayanum</i> is closely related to <i>C. tracyanum</i> in the genus <i>Cymbidium</i> based on 9 whole chloroplast genome sequences.Mitochondrial DNA.
