Abstract

Platanthera minor is widely distributed in East Asia. The complete circular chloroplast genome with a length of 154,430 bp possesses the typical structure, consisting of a large single copy (LSC) of 83,536 bp, a small single copy (SSC) of 17,612 bp, and two inverted repeats (IR) of 26,641 bp. The average GC content of the genome is 36.7%. The circular P. minor chloroplast genome contains 114 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, four rRNA genes, and 30 tRNA genes. The chloroplast sequence provided a resource for analyzing genetic diversity of the Orchidaceae family.

Keywords: Orchidoideae; Platanthera; chloroplast genome; inverted repeats; phylogeny.
