Complete chloroplast genome of Caragana intermedia (Fabaceae), an endangered shrub endemic to china

Caragana intermedia is an important shrub plant with high ecological and economic value. Here, we reported and analyzed the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of C. intermedia . This cp genome is relatively short (129,331 bp) because it lacks an Inverted Repeat (IR) region. It comprises 111 genes, inc...

More Information
Summary:Caragana intermedia is an important shrub plant with high ecological and economic value. Here, we reported and analyzed the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of C. intermedia . This cp genome is relatively short (129,331 bp) because it lacks an Inverted Repeat (IR) region. It comprises 111 genes, including four unique rRNAs, 31 tRNAs, and 76 protein-coding genes. Similar to other closely related plastomes, rpl 22 and rps 16 are absent, and the GC content is relatively low (31.6 %). The phylogenetic analysis suggested that C. intermedia is closely related to the genera of Astragalus .
