Abstract

Citrus erythrosa (Dongjeongkyool in Korean) is a medicinal citrus landrace that grows in Korea. In this study, we characterized the complete chloroplast (Cp) genome (160,120 bp) of C. erythrosa. The Cp genome was consisted of 4 distinct regions: a large single copy (87,731 bp), a small single copy (18,393 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (26,998 bp). The Cp genome encodes a total of 133 genes including 88 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis reveals that C. erythrosa is a sister group to the clade of species including C. reticulata within the genus Citrus.

Keywords: Citrus erythrosa; chloroplast genome; landrace; medicinal fruit; phylogenetic analysis.
