TL;DR
This paper presents the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of Sterculia foetida and compares it with related species.
Contribution
The first complete chloroplast genome sequence of Sterculia foetida is reported and analyzed phylogenetically.
Findings
The complete chloroplast genome of S. foetida is 162,637 bp long with a GC content of 36.68%.
The genome contains 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes.
Phylogenetic analysis shows S. foetida is closely related to S. pexa.
Abstract
Sterculia foetida L. (1753), a tree species in the family Malvaceae, is widely cultivated in tropical regions for its applications in food, medicine, and biodiesel production. This study reports the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of S. foetida, which is 162,637 bp long with a GC content of 36.68%, containing a large single-copy region (91,324 bp), a small single-copy region (20,347 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (25,483 bp each). The genome encodes 130 genes: 85 protein-coding genes, eight rRNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis shows S. foetida is closely related to S. pexa.
