Abstract

The complete plastid genome of Bulbophyllum pingnanense, a critically endangered species, was determined and analyzed in this study. The complete genome was 151,224 bp in length, consisting of a large single-copy region (LSC) of 86,017 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 13,497 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,855 bp. The genome contained 127 genes, including 81 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that B. pingnanense is sister to B. inconspicuum.

Keywords: Chinese orchids; Malaxideae; chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analysis.
