Abstract

Prunus sargentii is an ornamental flowering cherry species, spread in Japan, Korea, Russia, and Northeast China. Little information is available regarding its genomic, with limited phylogenetic relationship study performed on P. sargentii until now. In this research, we reported the complete plastid genome of P. sargentii. The complete chloroplast of this species is 158,138 bp in length, including a pair of invert repeat regions (IR) (26,463bp) that is divided by a large single-copy region (LSC) (85,959bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC) (19,253bp). The plastid genome contained a total of 128 genes, including 84 coding genes, eight rRNA genes, and 36 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that P. sargentii has a closer relationship with P. kumanoensis.
