Abstract

We assembled a complete chloroplast genome of a pantropical legume, Canavalia rosea (Fabaceae). The chloroplast genome was 158,059 bp in length that was composed of a 77,752 bp large single copy region, a 18,993 bp small single copy region, and a pair of 30,657 bp inverted repeats. We detected 135 genes that consisted of 90 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, eight rRNA genes, and three pseudogenes (rps16 and a pair of rpl22).

Keywords: Canavalia rosea; Fabaceae; chloroplast; pantropical plants with sea-drifted seeds.
