L. is one of the worldwide famous traditionally medicinal plants and widely applied in watermelon breeding for its multiple resistances. The complete nucleotide sequence of desert watermelon ( L.) chloroplast genome has been determined in this study. The genome was composed of 157,147 bp containing a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,149 bp, which was separated by a large single-copy region of 86,851 bp and a small single-copy region of 17,998 bp. A total of 123 genes were predicted including 86 protein-coding genes, eight rRNA genes and 29 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that were closely related to other two species in the genus . The complete chloroplast genome of would provide some significant information for Cucurbitaceae evolutionary and genomic studies.
L. 是世界著名的传统药用植物之一，因其具有多种抗性而被广泛应用于西瓜育种。本研究测定了沙漠西瓜（L.）叶绿体基因组的完整核苷酸序列。该基因组由157,147 bp组成，包含一对26,149 bp的反向重复序列（IRs），它们被一个86,851 bp的大单拷贝区域和一个17,998 bp的小单拷贝区域隔开。共预测到123个基因，包括86个蛋白质编码基因、8个rRNA基因和29个tRNA基因。系统发育分析表明， 与该属的其他两个物种密切相关。 的完整叶绿体基因组将为葫芦科进化和基因组研究提供一些重要信息。
