Abstract

De novo assembly with whole genome sequencing data of Hydrangea serrata for. fertilis, a great ornamental landscape plant species worldwide, facilitated to generate the complete chloroplast genome sequence in this study. The complete sequence was a circular DNA molecule of 157 730 bp in length, containing the large single-copy (LSC) region of 86 789 bp, small single-copy (SSC) region of 18 711 bp and two inverted repeats (IRs) regions of 26 115 bp. The genome encoded 114 genes consisting of 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis with matK gene-coding sequences of 19 species in family Hydrangeaceae showed a close relationship of H. serrata for. fertilis Nakai with H. macrophylla.
