The complete chloroplast genome of Caltha Palustris (Ranunculaceae). Issue 2 (3rd July 2018) - Lee, Junki
Abstract: The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Caltha palustris, a species of the Ranunculaceae family, was characterized from the de novo assembly of HiSeq (Illumina Co.) paired-end sequencing data. The chloroplast genome of C. palustris was 155, 292 bp in length, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84, 120 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18, 342 bp, and a pair of identical inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 26, 415 bp. The genome contained a total of 114 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 4 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The phylogenetic analysis of C. palustris with 14 related species revealed the closest taxonomical relationship with Hydrastis canadensis in the Ranunculaceae family.
