Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome of Ziziphus jujuba cv. dongzao, known as an important economic cultivar in Yellow River Delta of China was reported. It exhibits a quadripartite structure with 161,493 bp including a large single copy region (89,178 bp), a small single copy region (19,357 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats regions (26,479 bp). It has 36.79% GC content and 114 unique genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that it was a member of Ziziphus and more closely related to Berchemiella wilsonii. Border analysis revealed that there were some differences in the borders of the four related cultivars.
