Abstract

Abstract: Nitraria tangutorum and N. roborowskii are the representative species of Nitraria and mainly distributed in the salt deserts regions of northwest China. In the current study, we report the complete sequences of the chloroplast genomes of N. tangutorum and N. roborowskii, which were 159, 383 and 159, 397 bp in length, respectively, with 112 predicted genes consisting of 79 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The GC content of the two chloroplast genomes were 37.15% and 37.32% in N. tangutorum and N. roborowskii, respectively. ML phylogenomic analysis indicated that N. tangutorum and N. roborowskii formed one monophyletic group as the basal position of Sapindales clade and supporting separate this genus form Zygophyllaceae.
