Abstract

Taxillus yadoriki (Loranthaceae) is a hemiparasitic evergreen shrub distributed in Korea and Japan. We report the complete chloroplast genome of T. yadoriki to provide insight into the phylogenetic relationship of Loranthaceae. This genome is 122,192 bp long, with two IR regions (22,756 bp each) that separate a large single-copy (LSC) region (70,628 bp) and a small single-copy (SSC) region (6052 bp). It contains 109 genes that encode 68 proteins, 8 rRNAs, and 33 tRNAs. All of ndh genes have been lost and the SSC region consists of only four genes similar to other Taxillus species. In ML phylogenetic, monophyly of Taxillus was strongly supported with high bootstrap value and formed a sister group with Scurrula.

Keywords: Chloroplast genome; Taxillis; gene loss; phylogenetic analysis.
