Complete plastome of an endemic fern species from China: Neocheiropteris palmatopedata (Polypodiaceae)

Abstract Neocheiropteris palmatopedata (Baker) Christ is an endangered fern species endemic to southwest China. In this study, we sequenced the complete plastid genome of N. palmatopedata. The gene order and structure of the N. palmatopedata plastome are similar to those published plastomes in Polypodiales. The complete plastome is 153,344？bp in length, and the GC content is 42.1%. The plastome comprises 113 unique genes (83 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes and four rRNA genes)
