The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Viburnum Japonicum (Adoxaceae), an evergreen broad-leaved shrub
The wax-leafed Viburnum japonicum (Adoxaceae) is an evergreen shrub distributed in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. We sequenced its complete chloroplast (cp) genome to examine its phylogenetic relationship within Dipsacales. This genome is 158,614 bp long and features a large single-copy region (87,059 bp...

| Summary: | The wax-leafed Viburnum japonicum (Adoxaceae) is an evergreen shrub distributed in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. We sequenced its complete chloroplast (cp) genome to examine its phylogenetic relationship within Dipsacales. This genome is 158,614 bp long and features a large single-copy region (87,059 bp) and a small single-copy region (18,523 bp), separated by two inverted-repeat regions (26,516 bp each). It contains 128 genes, including 84 coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 36 tRNAs. The overall GC content is 38.1%. Our phylogenetic tree showed that V. japonicum is closely related to V. utile and is clustered together with four species in the family Adoxaceae. |
