The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Ziziphus attopensis (Rhamnaceae) and its phylogenetic analysis

Ziziphus attopensis has high medicinal value of tonic, carminative, appetizer, and muscle analgesic. To provide genetic information for further research and conservation, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Z. attopensis was determined in this study. The genome was 161,342 bp in length, consisting of a large single copy region (89,035 bp), a small single copy region (19,421 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (26,443 bp). In total, 129 genes were identified in Z. attopensis chloroplast genome, including 85 protein coding genes, eight rRNA, and 36 tRNA genes. Maximum-likelihood tree inferred from 58-gene sequences of 20 taxa supported that Rhamnaceae is sister to Elaeagnaceae and Z. attopensis is more closely related to Ziziphus jujuba.
