Abstract

A new super Kadsura coccinea, named 'black tiger 2', was selected from variant forms of seedlings. In this study, The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of 'black tiger 2' was obtained. The complete cp genome is 145,608 in length, and contained 126 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 35 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenetic analyses established that 'black tiger 2' was closely clustered with other Schisandraceae species such as Schisandra chinensis and Illicium, which helps elucidate the phylogenetic relationship between 'black tiger 2' and other species.

Keywords: Kadsura coccinea (Lem.) A.C. Smith; black tiger 2; complete chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analysis.
