Abstract

The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Prunus apetala was determined. The length of the cp genome of P. apetala is 157,987 bp. A total of 129 genes are comprised of 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA ribosomal genes. The overall GC content of cp genome is 36.7%. The phylogenetic position of P. apetala is sister to Prunus serrulata var. spontanea.

Keywords: Prunus apetala; chloroplast genome; pair-end sequencing; phylogenetic position.
