Abstract

Solanum chacoense is a wild tuber-bearing species belonging to Solanaceae family. The chloroplast genome of the species was completed by de novo assembly using a small amount of whole genome sequencing data. The genome is the circular DNA molecule with a length of 155,532 bp containing 159 predicted genes totally, including 105 protein-coding, 45 tRNA and eight rRNA genes. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis with 26 species in Solanaceae revealed that S. chacoense is the most closely grouped with S. commersonii.

Keywords: Chloroplast; Solanum chacoense; genome; genome sequence.
