Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Homalocladium platycladum (Polygonaceae) and its phylogenetic analysis

Homalocladium platycladum is a fascinating ornamental plant that has long been used in Chinese medicine. Here, we characterize the complete chloroplast genome sequence of this plant (GenBank: NC_062330). This circular genome has a total length of 163,202 bp containing a large single-copy region (87,...

Sumario:Homalocladium platycladum is a fascinating ornamental plant that has long been used in Chinese medicine. Here, we characterize the complete chloroplast genome sequence of this plant (GenBank: NC_062330). This circular genome has a total length of 163,202 bp containing a large single-copy region (87,820bp), a small single-copy region (13,538bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (30,922bp). A total of 130 predicted genes were identified, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that H. platycladum belongs to the Polygonaceae family and is highly analogous with Homalocladium and Muehlenbeckia families.
