Abstract

Clematis fruticosa Turcz. is an erect shrubby plant with important ecological and economical value, which usually occurs in dry or desert areas. The complete chloroplast genome of C. fruticosa was assembled from Illumina pair-end sequence reads. The whole plastome is 159,684 bp in length and presents a quadripartite structure consisting of two copies of inverted repeat (IR) regions (31,045), a large single copy (LSC) region (79,461 bp) and a small single copy (SSC) region (18,133 bp). The plastome of C. fruticosa encodes a total of 137 genes, including 92 protein-coding genes, 1 pseudogene, 36 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of C. fruticosa plastome is 38.0%. A maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis revealed that C. fruticosa was collectively sister to a clade of Clematis tangutica and Clematis aethusifolia with high support.
