Abstract

Bolbitis laxireticulata is a potential ornamental plant, which is restricted to eastern Asia. Here, we sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of B. laxireticulata and constructed a phylogenetic cp tree of Dryopteridaceae to study their relationships. The cp genome of B. laxireticulata is 153,093 bp in length, being made up of large single-copy (LSC, 83,169 bp), small single-copy (SSC, 21,538 bp), and a pair of region inverted repeats (IRs, 24,193 bp). It has 124 genes including 83 protein-coding genes, 33 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. With the maximum-likelihood tree indicating, B. laxireticulata is more closely related to B. subcordata.

Keywords: Bolbitis laxireticulata; Dryopteridaceae; chloroplast genome.
