Complete plastome of a subtropical tree Eriobotrya malipoensis (Rosaceae) in Yunnan

Abstract

Abstract Eriobotrya malipoensis Kuan is an important wild woody evergreen tree within the genus Eriobotrya Lindl belonging the family Rosaceae. To better determine its phylogenetic location with respect to the other Eriobotrya species, the complete plastome of E. malipoensis was sequenced. The whole plastome is 159,313\u2009bp in length, consisting of a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,344\u2009bp, one large single-copy (LSC) region of 87,270\u2009bp, and one small single-copy (SSC) region of 19,355\u2009bp. The overall G\u2009+\u2009C content of the whole plastome is 36.7%. Further, maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyse (TVM\u2009+\u2009F+R2 model) was conducted using 14 complete plastome of the Rosaceae. Our phylogeny supports the relationships: sisterhood of the E. malipoensis and E. fragrans Champ, flowed E. japonica Lindl.
