Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete chloroplast genome of Cercis canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’

Cercis canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’ is a tree species with high ornamental value, which complete chloroplast (cp) genome was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. The genome size is 158,960 bp with a total GC content of 36.17%. The cp genome is made up of a large single-copy region (88,114 bp), a small...

Description
Summary:Cercis canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’ is a tree species with high ornamental value, which complete chloroplast (cp) genome was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. The genome size is 158,960 bp with a total GC content of 36.17%. The cp genome is made up of a large single-copy region (88,114 bp), a small single-copy region (19,590 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (25,628 bp each). It contains 128 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Eighteen genes were duplicated in IRs. The maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis indicated that the Leguminosae species are grouped together, and C. canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’ is closely related to C. canadensis. The result would provide valuable information for genetic studies on Cercis genus.
