Abstract

Abstract: The phylogenetic relationships among Micranthes taxa remain unclear due to their diversification. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome of Micranthes melanocentra obtained using high-throughput sequencing technology to provide genomic information for phylogenetic analyses. The plastome is 155, 317 bp, with a large single-copy region (LSC) of 86, 784 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18, 007 bp, and a pair of 25, 263 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). The genome contains 132 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 1 pseudogene. The GC content of the plastome is 37.9%; corresponding values in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 36.1%, 31.9%, and 43.3%, respectively. The phylogenetic tree supports the separation of Micranthes from Saxifraga s.l .
