The complete chloroplast genome sequence of

Goodyera foliosa is a terrestrial orchid in Asia and has been listed as an endangered species in the Red List. In this study, we assembled the complete chloroplast genome of G. foliosa using Illumina sequencing data. Its full-length of 154,008 bp including a pair of invert repeats (IR) regions of 25,045 bp, large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,248 bp, and small single-copy (SSC) region of 20,670 bp. The chloroplast genome contains 127 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. In addition, the phylogenetic analysis base on 12 chloroplast genomes of Orchidaceae indicates that G. schlechtendaliana is closely related to G. foliosa. Our study would be helpful for the formulation of conservation strategies and further research of G. foliosa.
