Characterization of the complete plastid genome of Rauvolfia verticillata (Apocynaceae), with its phylogenetic analysis

Rauvolfia verticillata is a medical plant (Apocynaceae) widely distributed from India to China, the Indo-China Peninsula, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The first complete plastid genome sequence of the species reported here was 155,856 bp in length, with the large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,08...

Sumario:Rauvolfia verticillata is a medical plant (Apocynaceae) widely distributed from India to China, the Indo-China Peninsula, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The first complete plastid genome sequence of the species reported here was 155,856 bp in length, with the large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,085 bp, the small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,299 bp, and two inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) of 25,736 bp. The plastome contained 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content was 37.92%. The result from phylogenetic analysis suggests that Rauvolfia is closely related to the genus Catharanthus.
