Abstract

Exochorda racemosa (Lindl.) Rehd. is a traditional medicinal herb widely distributed in China. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of E. racemosa. The chloroplast genome (160,398 bp) was composed of four regions, with a large single-copy (LSC, 88,458 bp) region, a small single-copy (SSC, 19,190 bp) region, and two inverted repeat (IR, 26,375 bp) regions. The overall GC content was 36.48%. A total of 131 genes were predicted with 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis showed that E. racemosa had a close relationship with E. serratifolia.

Keywords: Exochorda racemosa; chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analysis.
