The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Fragaria orientalis (Rosales: Rosaceae)

Fragaria orientalis (Rosales: Rosaceae) as drought-resisting plant is distributed throughout northeast and central Asia. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Fragaria orientalis is reported and characterized in this study. The genome size of F. orientalis is 147,835 bp, containing a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 51,216 bp, which were separated by a large single copy (LSC) region of 83,232 bp and a small single copy (SSC) region of 13,387 bp. The genome contains 128 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. A total of 17 of these genes are duplicated in the IR regions, 16 genes contain one intron, and ycf3 has two introns. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast genome sequences indicates that F. orientalis is closely related to Fragaria chiloensis and Fragaria virginiana from the family Rosaceae.
