The complete plastome of tropical fruit <i>Garcinia mangostana</i> (Clusiaceae)

Abstract

The complete plastome sequence of <i>Garcinia mangostana</i> L. (Clusiaceae) is completed in this study (NCBI acc. no. KX822787). This is a first complete plastome sequence from the Clusiaceae. The complete plastome size is 158,179 bp in length and consists of a large single copy of 86,458 bp and a small single copy of 17,703 bp, separated by two inverted repeats of 27,009 bp. The <i>G. mangostana</i> plastome shows four minor structural modifications including <i>inf</i>A gene loss, <i>rpl</i>32 gene loss, <i>ycf</i>3 gene intron loss and a 363 bp inversion between <i>trn</i>V-UAC and <i>atp</i>E gene. The plastome contains 111 genes, of which 77 are protein-coding genes, 30 are tRNA genes and four are rRNA genes. The average A-T content of the plastome is 63.9%. A total of 110 simple sequence loci are identified from the genome. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that <i>G. mangostana</i> is a sister group of <i>Erythroxylum novogranatense</i> (Erythroxylaceae) with 78% bootstrap support.
