Abstract

In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Duranta erecta was assembled using Illumina sequencing data. The complete cp genome is 149,869 bp in length, including a pair of invert repeats (IRA and IRB) regions of 22,839 bp, large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,201 bp, and small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,990 bp. The G + C content of this cp genome was 38.26%. A total of 128 genes were predicted in the genome, including 83 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the phylogenetic relationship between D. erecta and other representative species of Verbenaceae.

Keywords: Duranta erecta; Verbenaceae; chloroplast genome; phylogenetic relationship.
