In this study, we reported a complete chloroplast genome of R. SB225002 price thyrsoidea, which was quadripartite and 161,786 bp in size, including two inverted repeats (25,466 bp for each) that separated one large single-copy (90,565 bp) and one small single-copy (20,289 bp) regions. The chloroplast genome contained 131 unique genes (86 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and 8 rRNA), and 17 of them were double copies. Phylogenetic analysis using the chloroplast genome data indicated that R. thyrsoidea was sister to the species in the family Malvaceae.Prunus jamasakura is a species of Prunus native to eastern Asia. We determined the first complete chloroplast genome of Prunus jamasakura using genome skimming approach. The cp genome was 157,905 bp long, with a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,910 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 19,123 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,436 bp. It encodes 129 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. We also reconstructed the phylogeny of Prunus sensu lato using maximum likelihood (ML) method, including our data and previously reported cp genomes of related taxa. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that P. jamasakura is closely related with Prunus speciosa.Elaeagnus glabra is an evergreen vine or climbing shrub with 5 m height. It is widespread in southern China. It grows in the sunny forests or forest margins below 1000 m a.s.l. In this paper, we report and describe the complete plastome of E. glabra in order to provide useful genomic data for its systematic research. The complete plastome of E. glabra is 152,555 bp with a typical quadripartite structure of angiosperms. It contains two Inverted Repeats (IRs) of 25,918 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) of 82,408 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,311 bp. The complete plastome contains 129 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The overall A/T content in the chloroplast genome of E. glabra is 62.90%. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that E. glabra is close to E. loureirii within Elaeagnaceae. The complete plastome of E. glabra will provide useful resources for the development and utilization of this species and the phylogenetic study of Rosales.Bletilla formosana is a medicinal plant commonly used in southwest of China. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of B. formosana to investigate its phylogenetic relationship in the family Orchidaceae. The chloroplast genome of B. formosana was 159,112 bp in length with 37.3% overall GC content, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,838 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,672 bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,801 bp. The cp genome contained 116 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated the genus Bletilla was closely related to Platanthera.Populus deltoides ‘Siyang-2’ is an improved variety of forest trees that have been identified recently. It shows superior growth performance compared to other local cultivars in the region of Yangtze-Huaihe in China. In this study, the whole chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of ‘Siyang-2’ was assembled and characterized by high-throughput sequencing data. The complete cp genome was 156,957 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,096 bp, and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 16,563 bp, which were separated by a pair of 27,649 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). The cp genome contained 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. Most of the gene species occur as a single copy, while 20 gene species occur in double copies. The overall GC content of ‘Siyang-2’ cp genome is 34.6%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.5%, 30.6%, 41.9%, respectively. The complete cp genome provides valuable phylogenetic and cp genetic engineering studies of this important improved poplar species P. deltoides ‘Siyang-2’.The complete plastid genome of Holcoglossum tsii was determined and analyzed in this work. The plastome was 146,897 bp in length with 83,366 bp of the large single-copy (LSC) region, 11,957 bp of the small single-copy (SSC) region, and 25,787 bp of the invert repeats (IR) regions. The genome contained 127 genes, 74 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis suggested H. tsii is sister to H. rupestre.The genetic structure and evolutionary relationship of Dulong chicken with other native Chinese species remained unclear. In this study, the mitochondrial control region was analyzed in total of 343 samples comprising 59 from Dulong chicken and 284 from 8 other Chinese local breeds revealed 51 mutation sites that defined 42 haplotypes. The maximum genetic variation was observed between the Shimian caoke and Pengxian yellow chickens. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these local chickens mainly scatter in two southwestern clades. Dulong chickens have close relationship with other native chicken. Finding of this study suggests a single matrilineal lineage of indigenous Dulong chickens.In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Argali sheep (Ovis ammon). The total length was 16,612 bp, which contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region (D-loop). Eight tRNA genes with one PCG (ND6) encoded on the L-strand, others were encoded on the H-strand. The neighbor-joining analysis shows that Argali sheep has a close relationship with the same genus species of Ovis aries and Ovis orientalis. This study has provided new data for the phylogeny of Argali sheep.
