The complete chloroplast genome sequence of potato wild relative species, Solanum nigrum

Solanum nigrum is a wild non-tuber-bearing species belonging to Solanaceae family. The complete chloroplast genome of S. nigrum was constituted by de novo assembly using a small amount of whole genome sequencing data. The chloroplast genome of S. nigrum was 155,432 bp in length and consisted of 25,289 bp of a pair of inverted repeats, 18,402 bp of small single copy, and 85,852 bp of large single copy regions. A total of 139 genes were annotated including 96 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis with 25 Solanaceae species revealed that S. nigrum is grouped with S. melongena.
