Abstract
BACKGROUND
Buddleja lindleyana Fort., which belongs to the Loganiaceae with a distribution throughout the tropics, is widely used as an ornamental plant in China. Buddleja contains several morphologically similar species, which need to be identified by molecular identification. But there is little molecular research on the genus Buddleja.
OBJECTIVE
Using molecular biology techniques to sequence and analyze the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of B. lindleyana.
METHODS
According to next-generation sequencing to sequence the genome data, a series of bioinformatics software were used to assembly and analysis the molecular structure of cp genome of B. lindleyana.
RESULTS
The complete cp genome of B. lindleyana is a circular 154,487-bp-long molecule with a GC content of 38.1%. It has a familiar quadripartite structure, including a large single-copy region (LSC; 85,489 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC; 17,898bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs; 25,550 bp). A total of 133 genes were identified in the genome, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes and 2 pseudogenes.
CONCLUSIONS
These results suggested that B. lindelyana cp genome could be used as a potential genomic resource to resolve the phylogenetic positions and relationships of Loganiaceae, and will offer valuable information for future research in the identification of Buddleja species and will conduce to genomic investigations of these species.
