The complete chloroplast genome sequence of <i>Horsfieldia pandurifolia</i> (Myristicaceae)

Abstract

Horsfieldia pandurifolia is a member of Myristicaceae. The H. pandurifolia chloroplast genome is found to be 155,695 bp in length and has a base composition of A (30.01%), G (19.31%), C (19.90%), and T (30.78%). The genome contained two short inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) regions (48,062 bp) which were separated by a large single copy (LSC) region (92,561 bp) and a small single copy (SSC) region (15,072 bp). The genome encodes 121 unique genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 27 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Further, complete chloroplast sequence of H. pandurifolia was aligned together with five other species which have reported the complete chloroplast sequence. This complete chloroplast genome will provide valuable information for the development of DNA markers for future species resource development and phylogenetic analysis of H. pandurifolia.
