Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Pachira macrocarpa Walp. (Malvales)

Pachira macrocarpa is one popular gardening ornamental plant in East Asia. In this study, we generated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. macrocarpa. The complete cp genome was 157,936 bp in length, containing a large single copy region (LSC) of 88,283 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of...

More Information
Summary:Pachira macrocarpa is one popular gardening ornamental plant in East Asia. In this study, we generated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. macrocarpa. The complete cp genome was 157,936 bp in length, containing a large single copy region (LSC) of 88,283 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 21,261 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 24,196 bp. The new sequence has a total of 129 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 35 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Further, phylogenetic analysis showed that P. macrocarpa has a close relationship with Bombax ceiba. This study provides important information for future evolution, genetic and molecular biology studies of P. macrocarpa.
