Abstract

Prunus cerasifera Ehrh. 'Pissardii', is a widespread ornamental and fruit tree. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. cerasifera 'Pissardii' (GenBank accession number: MN418903). The total cp genome is 157,952 bp in length, displayed a typical quadripartite structure, including a large single copy region (LSC) of 86,286 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,926 bp, which are separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,370 bp. The overall guanine-cytosine (GC) content of the genome sequence is 36.7%. The cp genome encodes 134 unique genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 42 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of 27 chloroplast genomes showed that P. cerasifera 'Pissardii' was closely related to P. humilis in Rosaceae.

Keywords: Prunus cerasifera; Prunus cerasifera ‘Pissardii’; complete chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analysis.
