Abstract

Monotropa uniflora is one of the representative plants of Ericaceae family, which was famous for entire translucent and ‘ghostly’ white. Also, unique lifestyle also attracts lots of researchers, which it obtains through fixed carbon from photosynthetic plants via a shared mycorrhizal network. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of M. uniflora was assembled and annotated, its full-length is 26,913 bp. Plastid genome contains 31 genes, 14 protein-coding genes, 14 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analyses based on the complete chloroplast genome sequence provided solid evidence that M. uniflora has a close relationship M. odorata. The chloroplast genome presented here will help for further conservation of M. uniflora and other saprophytes.

摘要

Monotropa uniflora是Ericaceae家族的代表植物之一，以全透明和“幽灵般”的白色而闻名。同样，独特的生活方式也吸引了许多研究人员，它是通过共享的菌根网络通过光合作用植物的固定碳获得的。在本研究中，组装并注释了唯一的M. uniflora叶绿体（cp）基因组，其全长为26,913 bp。质体基因组包含31个基因，14个蛋白质编码基因，14个tRNA基因和3个rRNA基因。基于完整的叶绿体基因组序列的系统发育分析提供了确凿的证据，表明单花分枝杆菌与臭味分枝杆菌有密切的关系。这里介绍的叶绿体基因组将有助于进一步保护M. uniflora和其他腐生植物。
