Abstract

Abstract: Cymbidium hookerianum Rchb.f. is an ornamental orchid with large flowers and delicate aroma. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. hookerianum . The total chloroplast genome cycle was 155, 447 bp. It displayed a typical structure including one large single-copy (LSC, 84, 186 bp) region, one small single-copy (SSC, 17, 839 bp) region, and two inverted repeat (IRs, 26, 711 bp). 124 genes (78 CDSs, 38 tRNAs, 8 rRNAs) were encoded by the cp genome. The average GC content of this sequence was 36.8%. The phylogenetic analysis revealed C. hookerianum and C. changningense are sisters. The groundwork of chloroplast genome would provide available reference for molecular taxonomy and breeding.
