The complete chloroplast genome, Duchesnea chrysantha (Zoll. & Moritzi) Miq. (Rosoideae)

Abstract Duchesnea chrysantha (Zoll. & Moritzi) Miq. is a traditional medicinal species of genus Duchesnea nested in Potentilla genus but having a significant key to be independent genus. In this study, we presented first complete chloroplast genome of D. chrysantha which is 156,329？bp long and has four subregions: 85,568？bp of large single copy (LSC) and 18,757？bp of small single copy (SSC) regions are separated by 26,002？bp of inverted repeat (IR) regions including 129 genes (84 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs). The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome is 37.0% and those in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.9%, 30.5%, and 42.8%, respectively. Phylogenetic trees show that D. chrysantha is clustered with D. indica and Duchesnea clade is nested in Potentilla clade with high bootstrap support
