The complete chloroplast genome of Prunus mira koehne (Prunoideae, Rosaceae), a wild and indigenous peach on Tibet, China

Prunus mira Koehne belonging to family Rosaceae, is an indigenous species distributed in Tibet, China. De novo assembly with low coverage whole genome sequencing data facilitated to generate the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. mira in this study. The genome was a circular DNA molecule with 158,153 bp in length. It exhibited a typical quadripartite structure comprising a large single-copy region (LSC, 86,319 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 19,022 bp) and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs, 26,406 bp each). A total of 112 genes were predicted, which included 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that P. mira was the most ancestral and basal lineage within the subgenus Amygdalus (Prunoideae subfamily), which is conform to the traditional classification.
