Lonicera tangutica Genome sequencing and assembly
In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Lonicera tangutica is presented and characterized firstly. The complete chloroplast genome was 156,121 bp in length, including 23,899 bp IR regions, 89,466 bp LSC region, 18,851 bp SSC region. A total of 129 genes, including 37 tRNA, 8 rRNA, and 84 protein-coding genes were annotated, and the overall GC content of the chloroplast genome was 38.35%. Two introns in ycf3 gene and a single intron in other gene were found respectively. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis indicated that the Lonicera tangutica have a very close evolutionary relationship with Lonicera praeflorens, Lonicera hispida, Lonicera fragrantissima and Lonicera stephanocarpa. These results will be valuable for studying the evolution and genetic diversity of Lonicera tangutica.
