Abstract

Callicarpa nudiflora Vahl is a medicinal plant occurring in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan provinces of China. Here, we report and characterize the complete plastid genome sequence of C. nudiflora in an effort to provide genomic resources useful for promoting its conservation. The complete plastome is 154,080 bp in length and contains the typical structure and gene content of angiosperm plastome, including two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,657 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,949 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,817 bp. There are 113 genes annotated, including 79 unique protein-coding genes, 4 unique ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. To investigate the evolution status of C. nudiflora, as well as Verbenaceae, we constructed a phylogenetic tree with C. nudiflora and other 11 species based on their complete chloroplast genomes. According to the phylogenetic topologies, C. nudiflora was closely related to Lancea hirstua.

Keywords: Callicarpa nudiflora Vahl; Verbenaceae; genome structure; phylogeny; plastome.
