Abstract

Clematoclethra scandens subsp. actinidioides (Actinidiaceae) is an endemic medicinal species in China. Here, we first sequenced and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of C. scandens subsp. actinidioides. The chloroplast genome was 159,341 bp in length, containing a large single-copy of 88,351 bp and a small single-copy of 21,580 bp separated by a pair of identical inverted repeat regions of 24,705 bp each. A total of 131 genes were identified, including 84 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis of C. scandens subsp. actinidioides showed a relatively close relationship with Clematoclethra scandens subsp. hemsleyi.

Keywords: Chloroplast genome; Clematoclethra scandens subsp. actinidioides; phylogenetics.
