Abstract

Abstract: Crataegus hupehensis Sarg. is well-known for its medicinal and nutritive value. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. hupehensis was determined by using Illumina high-throughput sequencing approach. The complete chloroplast genome is 159, 766 bp with 36.6% GC content. It contained a pair of inverted repeat regions of 26, 385 bp, a large single-copy region of 87, 852 bp, and a small single-copy region of 19, 144 bp. It contained 112 distinct genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast genomes indicated that C. hupehensis is was closely related to C. kansuensis and C. marshallii in the subfamily Maloideae. This complete chloroplast genome will provide valuable insight into evolution, molecular breeding, and phylogenetic analysis of Crataegus species.
