The first complete chloroplast genome of Haymondia wallichii (Fabaceae) and its phylogenetic analysis.

Haymondia wallichii DC. was a scandent shrub. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of H. wallichii to investigate its phylogenetic relationship in Fabaceae. The total length of the cp genome was 153,668 bp, consisted of a large single copy (LSC) region of 84,310 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 17,918 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 25,720 bp. The genome contained 132 genes, namely 37 tRNA genes, 87 protein-coding genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content was 35.4%. The phylogenetic analysis indicated H. wallichii was closely related to Pueraria montana var. thomsonii and Pueraria montana var. lobata. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
