The complete chloroplast genome of (Hance) J. Wen & Z. L. Nie 2014 (Family: Vitaceae) and its phylogenetic analysis.

is a perennial woody vine with nine species that had been originally placed in . These species of are economically and medically important. Limited information is available on the genomic characteristics of the chloroplasts of this genus. (Hance) J. Wen & Z. L. Nie 2014 contains 131 unique genes (86 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs). The complete chloroplast sequence contains 162,976 bp. The large single-copy region contains 89,291 bp; the small single-copy region contains 19,063 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat sequences is composed of 27,311 bp. There are 84 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci in the complete chloroplast genome of , with mononucleotide, dinucleotide, trinucleotide, tetranucleotide and hexanucleotide SSRs of 58, 9, 6, 10 and 1, respectively. A total of 337 repeats were identified, including 172 forward repeats, three reverse repeats and 163 palindromic repeats. A phylogenetic analysis based on the complete genome data of the chloroplasts of 10 plant species indicated the monophyly of and determined the phylogenetic relationships of in . This study provides a reference for further studies on the taxonomy, identification, origin and evolution of and .
