Abstract

Pterospermum menglunense is the endangered plant species of the genus Pterospermum in the family Sterculiaceae. In the study, the complete genome was 162,421bp in length, including of two inverted repeats (IRA and IRB, 25,572 bp), separated by a large single-copy region (LSC, 90,754 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 20,523 bp). The genome annotation reveals a total of 132 genes, including 37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 87 protein-coding (PCG) genes. The phylogenetic tree showed P. menglunense is closely related to Pterospermum kingtungense.

Keywords: Pterospermum menglunense; complete chloroplast genome; endangered species.
