The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Ziziphus incurva

The first complete chloroplast genome sequences of Ziziphus incurva were reported in this study. The complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Z. incurva was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data. The cpDNA is 160,920 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 88,778 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 19,172 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,477 bp. The genome contains 129 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 36.8% and the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.6, 30.8, and 42.7%, respectively. Further, the phylogenomic analysis showed that Z. incurva clustered together with Z. jujube, Z. mauritiana, and Z. spina-christi.
