Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Nov;27(6):4685-4686. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1106502. Epub 2015 Dec 7.

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Schefflera octophylla, a critical Chinese medicine was reported here. The complete chloroplast genome of Schefflera octophylla is 156 685 bp in length with 37.93% overall GC content. A pair of IRs (inverted repeats) of 25 965 bp were separated by LSC (86 609 bp) and SSC (18 146 bp). The phylogenetic analysis of 17 taxa showed a strong sister relationship with Schefflera delavayi. Furthermore the Araliaceae was separated into two major groups.

Keywords: Chloroplast genome; phylogenetic relationship, Schefflera octophylla.
