Abstract

Symphoricarpos orbiculatus is an important landscape and ornamental plant. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast genome sequences of S. orbiculatus. The complete chloroplast genome of S. orbiculatus was 156,044 bp in length. The genome has a typical quadripartite structure, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 88,756 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 19,130 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 24,079 bp each. Overall, the GC content was 38.4%. In the genome, it was identified to comprise130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. This study provides valuable information for molecular phylogenetic study of Caprifoliaceae and is significant for variety development of Symphoricarpos.
