The complete chloroplast genome of coffee tree, Coffea arabica L. ‘Typica’ (Rubiaceae)

Abstract

We presented complete chloroplast genome of Coffea arabica L. 'Typica' which is 155,187 bp long and has four subregions: 85,159 bp of large single copy (LSC) and 18,135 bp of small single copy (SSC) regions are separated by 25,946 bp of inverted repeat (IR) regions including 131 genes (86 protein-coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs). The overall GC content of the chloroplast genome is 37.4% and those in the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 35.4%, 31.3%, and 43.0%, respectively. Interestingly, almost most of sequence variations identified against five coffee chloroplast genomes are insertions and deletions.
