The complete chloroplast genome of Rubus lambertianus var. paykouangensis, an edible wild plant

Rubus lambertianus Ser. var. paykouangensis (Levl.) Hand.-Mazz. is great important in the phylogeny and evolution of the genus Rubus L. in the family Rosaceae. The chloroplast genome of R. lambertianus var. paykouangensis reported in this study is 156177 bp in length, and it has an average GC content of 37.18%. The complete chloroplast genome showed a typical quadripartite structure, comprising a small single copy (SSC) region (18,730 bp) and a large single copy (LSC) region (85,883 bp), both of which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 25,782 bp). This plastome was discovered to contain 129 different genes (112 unique), including 85 protein-coding genes (79 unique), 36 tRNA genes (29 unique), and 8 rRNA genes (4 unique). The published chloroplast genome of R. lambertianus var. paykouangensis will provide a significant insight into elucidating the phylogenetic relationship of taxa within the genus Rubus of the family Rosaceae.
