Abstract

Porella grandiloba Lindb. is a liverwort species of Porellaceae, primarily distributed in East Asia. Here, we determined the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of P. grandiloba. The complete cp genome was 121,433 bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure consisting of a large single-copy region (83,039 bp), a small single-copy region (19,586 bp), and two copies of inverted repeat regions (9,404 bp, each). Genome annotation predicted 131 genes, including 84 protein-coding, 36 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. The maximum likelihood tree indicated that P. grandiloba was sister to P. perrottetiana, which species formed a clade with Radula japonica (Radulaceae).
