Abstract

Prunus takesimensis is an endemic flowering cherry on Ulleung Island, Korea. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. takesimensis was generated by de novo assembly using whole-genome next-generation sequencing approach. The cp genome size was 157,948 bp in length consisting of four regions; large single copy region (85,959 bp), small single copy region (19,117 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (26,436 bp). The genome contained a total of 128 genes, including 83 coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis for 20 reported genomes within the family Rosaceae showed the monophyly of the genus Prunus including newly sequenced P. takesimensis.
