Abstract

Ruta graveolens L. is a perennial plant belonging to the family Rutaceae and has been used for traditional medicines for a long time. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of R. graveolens was first reported and characterized. The cp genome is 157,434 bp in length and contains a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 26,868 bp) separated by a large (85,387 bp) and small (18,311 bp) single-copy regions. A total of 132 genes were predicted, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that R. graveolens is more closely related to the monophyletic subfam. Aurantioideae.

Keywords: Chloroplast genome; Ruta graveolens; Rutaceae; phylogenetic analysis.
