Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Hippophae rahmnoides subsp. sinensis was characterized from Illumina pair-end sequencing. The chloroplast genome of H. rahmnoides subsp. sinensis was 156,355 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 84,002 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 19,055 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,649 bp. The overall GC content is 36.6%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 64.5%, 69.2%, and 60.1%, respectively. The genome contains 131 complete genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes (29 tRNA species), and 8 rRNA genes (4 rRNA species). The neighbour-joining phylogenetic analysis showed that H. rahmnoides subsp. sinensis and H. rahmnoides clustered together as sisters to other H. rahmnoides species.
