| Summary: | Rubus rufus Focke is a deciduous shrub species native to subtropical China and is valuable resources for the Raspberry cultivation by virtue of prolific fruits and stout resistances to hash stress. In this study, we assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of R. rufus as resources for the future study. The chloroplast genome was 156,232 bp in length, composing of one large single copy (LSC; 85,840 bp) and one small single copy (SSC; 18,850 bp), separated by two inverted repeats (IRs; 25,771 bp). A total of 130 genes were predicted, including eight rRNAs, 36 tRNAs, and 86 protein-coding genes. The phylogenetic analysis showed a close relationship between R. rufus and Rubus cochinchinensis in the tribe Rubeae.
