Abstract

Vincetoxicum junzifengense B.J. Ye and S.P. Chen 2022 is a newly described species which belongs to the genus Vincetoxicum in the family Apocynaceae. The complete plastid genome of Vincetoxicum junzifengense B.J. Ye and S.P. Chen 2022 was determined and analyzed in this study. The total chloroplast genome was 159,666 bp in length, consisting of a large single-copy region of 90,565 bp, a small single-copy region of 19,691 bp, and two inverted repeat regions of 24,705 bp. The genome contained 131 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes, and eight ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that V. junzifengense is sister to V. versicolor.

Keywords: Apocynaceae; Asclepiadoideae; chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analysis.
