Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Garcinia xanthochymus Hook. f. ex T. Anderson 1874 (Clusiaceae) and its phylogenetic implications

Garcinia xanthochymus is renowned for sweet, water-rich pulp fruits. Despite some phytochemical analyses highlighting its economic and medicinal value, research on its phylogeny is scarce. To fill this void, we sequenced the first chloroplast genome of G. xanthochymus. The genome was 157,688 bp long...

Description
Summary:Garcinia xanthochymus is renowned for sweet, water-rich pulp fruits. Despite some phytochemical analyses highlighting its economic and medicinal value, research on its phylogeny is scarce. To fill this void, we sequenced the first chloroplast genome of G. xanthochymus. The genome was 157,688 bp long with a typical quadripartite structure, consisting of two IR (27,017 bp each), a LSC (85,998 bp), and a SSC (17,656 bp). It contained 125 unique genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Forming a distinct branch, G. pedunculata, G. subelliptica and G. mangostana showed the closest phylogenetic relationships.
