Abstract

Citrus, which is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates, is one of the most important crops in the world. Here, we assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast genome of Citrus clementina (C. clementina) using Illumina sequencing data. This chloroplast genome exhibited a typical quadripartite structure of 154,042 bp in length, and the overall GC content was 38.42%. A total of 134 genes (90 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs) were predicted in this chloroplast genome. Phylogenetic analysis strongly supported that C. clementina was evolutionarily close to Citrus sunki.

摘要

柑橘在热带和亚热带气候中广泛种植，是世界上最重要的作物之一。在这里，我们使用 Illumina 测序数据组装并注释了Citrus clementina ( C. clementina )的完整叶绿体基因组。该叶绿体基因组显示出典型的四边形结构，长度为 154,042 bp，总 GC 含量为 38.42%。在该叶绿体基因组中预测了总共 134 个基因（90 个蛋白质编码基因、36 个 tRNA 和 8 个 rRNA）。系统发育分析强烈支持C. clementina在进化上接近Citrus sunki。
