TL;DR
This paper reports the full chloroplast genome of Cordia subcordata, a protected plant in China, and its evolutionary relationships with other species.
Contribution
The study presents the first complete chloroplast genome sequence and phylogenetic analysis of Cordia subcordata.
Findings
The chloroplast genome is 154,811 bp long with 133 genes, including 88 protein-coding genes.
Phylogenetic analysis shows Cordia subcordata clusters closely with other Cordia species.
The genome is distinct from related genera like Ehretia and Heliotropium in the Boraginaceae family.
Abstract
This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of the chloroplast genome of Cordia subcordata, a protected species in China, native to Malesia and widely distributed along the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The genome is 154,811 bp long, circular, with a 38.01% GC content, encoding 133 genes: 88 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis reveals it clusters with other Cordia species and is distinct from genera like Ehretia and Heliotropium, highlighting significant diversification within the Boraginaceae family.
