Complete chloroplast genome of Lycium ferocissimum (Solanaceae), a species native to South Africa

Lycium ferocissimum, known as African boxthorn or boxthorn, is a shrub in the Solanaceae family. In this study, we characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of L. ferocissimum using genome skimming data. It had a circular mapping molecular with the length of 155,894 bp, with a larg...

Descripción
Sumario:Lycium ferocissimum, known as African boxthorn or boxthorn, is a shrub in the Solanaceae family. In this study, we characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of L. ferocissimum using genome skimming data. It had a circular mapping molecular with the length of 155,894 bp, with a large single-copy region (LSC, 86,536 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,406 bp) separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 25,476 bp). The cp genome encodes 113 unique genes, consisting of 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes, with 20 duplicated genes in the IR regions. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that L. ferocissimum is sister to the other three Lycium species.
