This study was the first report for the complete chloroplast genome of Passiflora serrulata Jacq. (Passifloraceae). The cp genome was 149,683 bp in length contained two inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,470 bp, which were separated by large single-copy (LSC) and small single-copy (SSC) of 86,252 bp and 13,491 bp, respectively. A total of 110 functional genes were encoded, comprised 76 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The GC content was 37.0%. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree indicated that P. serrulata was recovered as the member of subg. Passiflora and most closely related to the clade formed by P. serratodigitata and P. ligularis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complete chloroplast genome of Passiflora miniata Vanderpl. was reported in this study. The cp genome was 149,573 bp in length including two inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,012 bp, which were separated by LSC and SSC of 86,070 bp and 13,479 bp, respectively. The GC content was 37.1%. The genome encoded 106 functional genes, including 72 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree indicated that P. miniata was recovered in the clade of subg. Passiflora and most related to P. vitifolia. This newly reported plastid genome will provide essential data for further study on the phylogeny and evolution of the genus and family. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study was the first report about complete chloroplast genome of Aster hypoleucus (Asteraceae, Astereae), an endemic species in Xizang (China). The circular whole cp genome of A. hypoleucus was 152,300 bp in length, contained a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,031 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,269 bp. These two regions were separated by a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb), each of them 25,000 bp in length. A total of 134 functional genes were encoded, consisted of 89 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome sequence was 37.3%, and the GC contents of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions were 35.2%, 31.2%, and 43.0%, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complete chloroplast genome of Petrocodon jingxiensis (Yan Liu, H.S. Gao, and W.B. Xu) A. Weber and Mich. Möller was determined in this study. The cp genome was 153,056 bp in length including two inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,405 bp, which were separated by LSC and SSC of 84,154 bp and 18,092 bp, respectively. The GC content was 41.9%. The genome encoded 112 functional genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. This plastid genome is the first report for the Petrocodon in Gesneriaceae which will be useful data for developing markers for further studies on resolving the relationship within the genus.

The complete chloroplast genome of Elatostema dissectum Wedd. was reported in this study. The cp genome was 150,302 bp in length including two inverted repeats (IRs) of 24,565 bp, which were separated by LSC and SSC of 83,998 bp and 17,174 bp, respectively. The GC content was 36.2%. The genome encoded 112 functional genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. This plastid genome is the first report for the tribe Elatostemateae in Urticaceae, which will be useful data for developing markers for further studies on resolving the relationship within the genus and tribe.
