Abstract

Primula helodoxa Balf.f. is a species endemic to southeastern China distributed in Tengchong county of Yunnan Province. Here is the first time to report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of P. helodoxa. The complete chloroplast genome was 151,909 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83192 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,797 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) regions of 25,460 bp. There are 137 genes in total, 91 protein-coding genes, eight rRNA genes, and 38 transfer RNA genes. The phylogenetic tree showed relative relationship of P. helodoxa and P. chrysochlora.

Keywords: Complete chloroplast genome; Primula helodoxa; endemic species.
