The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Rosa pricei (Rosaceae)

The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Rosa pricei Hayata has been characterized by reference-based assembly using Illumina paired-end data. The complete cp genome is 156,599 base pairs (bp) in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,732 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,749 bp, which are separated by a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 26,059 bp, a total of 139 genes were predicted from the chloroplast genome, including 87 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes (four rRNA species). Most genes occur as a single copy while 19 gene species are duplicated. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that R. pricei was resolved as sister to R. multiflora, R. lucieae, and R. maximowicziana.
