Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of (Rutaceae, Citrus).

The peel of can be useful as a kind of traditional Chinese medicine in China. The circular complete chloroplast genome of was 160,101 bp in length with the typical quadripartite structure of angiosperms, including 87,721 bp large single-copy region (LSC), 18,394 bp small single-copy region (SSC) of and a pair of 26,993 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The overall nucleotide composition of chloroplast genome sequence is 30.5% A, 31.0% T, C (19.6%), G (18.9%), and the total G + C content of 38.5%. A total of 138 genes were annotated in chloroplast genome of The phylogenetic tree result showed that was evolutionarily close to in the family Rutaceae the genus Citrus by the maximum-likelihood (ML) method.
