Abstract

Primula bulleyana is a popular ornamental species, with high commercial values. Here, we reported the first chloroplast genome of P. bulleyana. The complete chloroplast genome is 150978 bp, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 82873 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,741 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) regions of 25,182 bp. In total, there are 142 genes, 92 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 38 tRNA genes are annotated in the whole cp genome, including 119 unique genes, 82 unique CDSs, 29 unique tRNAs, and 4 unique rRNAs. The overall GC content of the cp genome is 37.1%. The phylogenetic tree shows that close relationships among P. bulleyana and Primula stenodonta.
