Abstract

Peach (Prunus persica) is one of the most important economic fruit crops in the current society. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of peach cultivar 'Rui Guang 18' (Prunus persica var. nectarina cv. 'Rui Guang 18') using whole genome sequencing data. The complete chloroplast genome size was 157,494 bp as a circle, which contained a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,848 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,983 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) region of 52,663 bp. The total GC content of the chloroplast genome is 36.8%. The chloroplast genome contains 116 genes, including 76 protein coding genes (PCG), 6 ribosome RNA (rRNA) genes, and 35 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The complete chloroplast genome will be a potential genetic resource for peach breeding.

Keywords: Peach cultivar ‘Rui Guang 18’; chloroplast genome; nectarine; phylogeny.
