Abstract

Abstract: Lonicera oblata, a critically endangered species endemic to North China with about 30 wild individuals, has long been ignored for conservation since its publication because of little attention on its living situation. In this study, we characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of L. oblata . The cp genome was 155, 481 bp in length, included a large single-copy (LSC) region of 89, 139 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18, 676 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 23, 833 bp each. The genome contains 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic position of L. oblata was also investigated based on cp genome phylogeny of Lonicera representatives. This study is valuable for molecular phylogenetic study and conservation of Lonicera and related taxa.
