Complete chloroplast genome of Sorbaria sorbifolia var. stellipila

The complete plastid genome of Sorbaria sorbifolia var. stellipila was sequenced and analyzed in this study. It was found to be 160,820 bp and consisted of a large (88,869 bp) and small (20,853 bp) single-copy regions, separated by a pair of identical inverted repeats (25,549 bp). The GC content of the whole genome was 37.8%, and there were 84 unique protein-coding genes, 37 tRNAs, and 8 rRNAs. The gene order and organization were consistent with those of other complete plastid genomes from the Rosaceae. The phylogenetic tree construct was based on 76 protein-coding genes and demonstrated a sister relationship with the Rosaceae.
