Characterization of the chloroplast genome of Calanthe henryi (Epidendroideae; Orchidaceae)

The first complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequences of an endemic and endangered species in China, Calanthe henryi, were reported in this study. The cp genome of C. henryi was 158,256 bp long, with two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,348 bp, a large single copy (LSC) region of 87,137 bp, and a s...

Sumario:The first complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequences of an endemic and endangered species in China, Calanthe henryi, were reported in this study. The cp genome of C. henryi was 158,256 bp long, with two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,348 bp, a large single copy (LSC) region of 87,137 bp, and a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,423 bp. The cp genome of this species contained 113 genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content was 36.7%. Phylogenetic analysis of 60 cp genomes within the subfamily of Epidendroideae suggests that C. henryi is closely related to C. bicolor.
