The chloroplast genome of the species from Central America has never been reported. With its local use for food flavoring, medicine, and wood, has been of good economic importance. In the present study, the complete chloroplast genome of was assembled via the genome skimming data. As a typical quadripartite structure, the plastome of with 159,906 bp in length includes two inverted repeats (26,554 bp) separated by a small single copy region (18,761 bp) as well as a large single copy region (88,037 bp). This chloroplast genome consists of 131 different genes, including 86 protein coding genes (CDS), eight rRNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed that from Central America was closely related to an evergreen species, from East Asia.
中美洲该物种的叶绿体基因组从未被报道过。因其在当地用于食品调味、医药和木材,具有重要的经济价值。在本研究中,通过基因组浅层测序数据组装了该物种的完整叶绿体基因组。作为典型的四分体结构,该物种长度为159,906 bp的质体基因组包括两个反向重复序列(26,554 bp),由一个小单拷贝区域(18,761 bp)以及一个大单拷贝区域(88,037 bp)隔开。这个叶绿体基因组由131个不同的基因组成,包括86个蛋白质编码基因(CDS)、8个rRNA基因和37个tRNA基因。最大似然系统发育分析表明,来自中美洲的该物种与东亚的一个常绿物种密切相关。
