is an important economic plant cultivated widely in the world. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of is reported here. The genome is 157,343 bp in length and exhibits a typical quadripartite structure of the large (LSC, 87,970 bp) and small (SSC, 18,167 bp) single-copy regions, separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 25,603 bp). A total of 131 genes were predicted including 85 protein-coding genes, eight rRNA genes and 38 tRNA genes. Further, phylogenetic analysis showed that were closely related to other species in the family Cucurbitaceae. The complete chloroplast genome of would be taken as a useful molecular tool for species discrimination, taxonomy, and phylogenetic relationships in the family Cucurbitaceae.
是一种在世界范围内广泛种植的重要经济作物。本文报道了其完整的叶绿体基因组序列。该基因组长度为157,343 bp,呈现出典型的四分体结构,包括一个大的单拷贝区域(LSC,87,970 bp)和一个小的单拷贝区域(SSC,18,167 bp),由一对反向重复序列(IRs,25,603 bp)分隔。共预测出131个基因,包括85个蛋白质编码基因、8个rRNA基因和38个tRNA基因。此外,系统发育分析表明,与葫芦科的其他物种密切相关。的完整叶绿体基因组将作为葫芦科物种鉴别、分类学及系统发育关系研究的有用分子工具。
