Abstract

Euscaphis japonica is not only an ideal ornamental plant, but also a traditional medicinal plant, which is an extremely valuable species to study. We determined the complete chloroplast genome sequence for E. japonica using Illumina sequencing technology. The complete chloroplast sequence is 160,467 bp in length, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 88,716 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,614 bp, and a pair of invert repeats (IR) regions of 26,568 bp. Plastid genome contains 142 genes, 46 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis base on 14 chloroplast genomes indicates that E. japonica forms an isolated clade and sisters to Glycosmis-Gossypium clade with strong support.
