Abstract

Rubus rosifolius belongs to the genus Rubus in the family Rosaceae and is widely distributed globally. It has white flowers and red fruits. Moreover, it has medicinal value for diseases of the stomach and other areas. However, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of R. rosifolius remains unclear. In the present study, we sequenced the complete cp genome of R. rosifolius (GenBank accession no. OL435124), which had a typical quadripartite structure and a size of 155,650 bp. Fifteen genes (trnK-UUU, rps16, trnG-UCC, atpF, rpoC1, trnL-UAA, trnV-UAC, petB, petD, rpl16, rpl2, ndhB, trnI-GAU, trnA-UGC, and ndhA) contained an intron, and two genes (clpP and ycf3) contained two introns. The gene rps12 showed trans-splicing. Phylogenetic analysis showed that R. rosifolius was closely related to Rubus taiwanicola, Rubus rubroangustifolius, and Rubus glandulosopunctatus.
