The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Ziziphus incurva

The first complete chloroplast genome sequences of Ziziphus incurva were reported in this study. The complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Z. incurva was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data. The cpDNA is 160,920?bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 88,778?bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 19,172?bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,477?bp. The genome contains 129 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 36.8% and the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 34.6, 30.8, and 42.7%, respectively. Further, the phylogenomic analysis showed that Z. incurva clustered together with Z. jujube, Z. mauritiana, and Z. spina-christi.
