The complete chloroplast genome of var. (Buxaceae) and its phylogenetic analysis.

var. is a shrub or small arbor of the Buxaceae family, rich in various medicinal alkaloids and of great horticultural value. In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the complete chloroplast genome of var. for the first time. The length of the chloroplast genome is 158,995 bp with 38.1% overall GC content. It includes a large single-copy (LSC) region of 88,140 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,761 bp, and two inverted repeat regions of 26,547 bp. Additionally, 132 functional genes in the genome are identified, including 87 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that var. is closely related to . The complete chloroplast genome sequence of var. and its phylogenetic analysis provides useful genomic information for the further study of var. and other species.
