Abstract

Rubus irritans Focke is a type of tonifying kidney-essence herb used in China. We present the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of R. irritans, a member of the genus Rubus. The complete cp genome of R. irritans was 155,286 bp long and consisted of an 84,613 bp long large single-copy (LSC) region, an 18,697 bp long SSC region, and a pair of 25,988 bp long inverted repeats (IR). Furthermore, the plastid genome contained 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the genome was 37.29%. Based on the complete cp genome, phylogenetic analysis revealed that R. irritans is closely related to R. amabilis.

Keywords: Rubus irritans Focke; chloroplast genome; phylogenetics analysis.
