The complete chloroplast genome sequence with a novel 24-bp deletion of a Korean solid green-type cucumber variety ( var. ).

Cucumber ( var. ) is one of the economically important vegetable crops. In this study, we characterized the complete chloroplast genome sequence of inbred line ID YHB bred from Korean solid green-type cucumber variety, through assembly using next-generation sequencing. The chloroplast genome is 155,501 bp long and has typical quadripartite structures and gene contents as found in reported cucumber chloroplast genomes. Interestingly, sequence comparison revealed a novel 24-bp deletion present only in the chloroplast genome of the inbred line. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the inbred line was closely grouped with cucumber cultivars.
