Abstract

Prunus salicina 'Wushan plum' is a local economic fruit crop. In this study, we reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of P. salicina 'Wushan plum'. The genome has a circular structure of 157,921 bp containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 86,184 bp, a small copy region (SSC) of 19,031 bp, and two inverted repeats (IR) of 26,353 bp by each. It harbors 110 unique genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 28 transfer RNA genes. The phylogenomic analysis shows that P. salicina 'Wushan plum' is clustered with Prunus salicina.

Keywords: Prunus salicina ‘Wushan plum’; chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analysis.
