The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Rhamnella wilsonii Schneid (Rhamnaceae).

Rhamnella wilsonii Schneid 1914 is a member of the Rhamnaceae and endemic to China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of R. wilsonii was sequenced and assembled. The complete chloroplast genome was 160,049 bp in length, including a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,502 bp, one large single copy (LSC) region of 88,274 bp and one small single copy (SSC) region of 18,771 bp. The genome contained 129 genes, including 8 rRNA genes, 37 tRNA genes and 84 protein-coding genes. The overall GC content of the complete chloroplast genome was 37.15%. The phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that R. wilsonii is closely related to R. martinni . This study provides basic information for further studies on the identification and evolution of R. wilsonii and Rhamnella from genomic perspective.
