Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Artocarpus petelotii was determined, a narrowly distributed species at high altitudes in the family Moraceae. To better determine its phylogenetic location with respect to the other Moraceae species, the complete plastid genome of A. petelotii was sequenced. The whole chloroplast genome is 161,009 bp in length, consisting of a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,682 bp, one large single-copy (LSC) region of 89,552 bp, and one small single-copy (SSC) region of 20,093 bp. The overall GC content of the whole chloroplast genome is 35.8%. Further, maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis was conducted using 26 complete plastomes of the Moraceae, which support close relationships among A. petelotii, A. nanchuanensis and A. heterophyllus.

Keywords: Artocarpus petelotii; chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analysis.
