Characterization of the complete plastid genome of an important Chinese Old Rose Rosa odorata var. pseudindica

AbstractRosa odorata var. pseudindica is a world-famous Chinese Old Rose endemic to the northwest of Yunnan province (China). In this study, the complete plastid genome of R. odorata var. pseudindica was characterized and assembled using a high-throughput sequencing method. The complete plastid genome is a typical quadripartite circular molecule of 156,652 bp length, including a large single-copy region of 85,785 bp and a small single-copy region of 18,761 bp separated by two inverted repeat regions of 26,053 bp. Totally 130 genes were identified, including 85 protein-coding genes (PCG), 37 transfer RNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that R. odorata var. pseudindica and R. odorata var. gigantea formed an independent clade with a 100% bootstrap support.
