Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome of Euscaphis japonica (Thunb.) Kanitz isolated in Korea is 160,606 bp long and has four subregions: 89,232 bp of large single-copy and 18,734 bp of small single-copy regions are separated by 26,320 bp of inverted repeat regions including 129 genes (84 CDS, 8 rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs) and three pseudogenes. There were 424 SNPs and 809 INDELs compared with the Chinese E. japonica, useful to develop markers for phylogeographic study of the species. Phylogenetic trees show that E. japonica, representing Crossosomatales, is nested within the Malvids clade, confirming previous studies.

Keywords: Crossosomatales; Euscaphis japonica; Jeju Island; Korea; intraspecific variations.
