The complete chloroplast genome of Solanum berthaultii, one of the potato wild relative species

Abstract

Solanum berthaultii is a wild species belonging to Solanaceae family. The complete chloroplast genome of S. berthaultii was constituted by de novo assembly using a small amount of whole genome sequencing data. The chloroplast genome of S. berthaultii was 155,533 bp in length and consisted of 25,593 bp of a pair of inverted repeats, 18,372 bp of small single copy and 85,975 bp of large single-copy regions. 158 genes were annotated including 105 protein-coding, 45 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis with eight Solanaceae species revealed that S. berthaultii is most closely grouped with S. tuberosum.
