Abstract
The chloroplast genome of Prunus mume exhibits a circular DNA molecule of 157,712 bp, with a typical quadripartite structure. It consists of two inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) of 26,394 bp, separated by large (LSC) and small (SSC) single-copy regions of 85,861 and 19,063 bp, respectively. The chloroplast genomes of fruit P. mume exhibit a typical quadripartite structure with conserved genome arrangement, structure and divergence. Chloroplast genome length is 157,815 bp, including a pair of inverted repeat regions of 26,393 bp separated by a large single-copy region of 86,113 bp and a small single-copy region of 18,916 bp. In the organisation of the gene aspect, the chloroplast genome of P. mume encodes 112 unique genes, 19 of which are duplicated in the IR regions, resulting in 131 genes, 18 of which harbour one or two introns; the GC content is 38.9%. The chloroplast of P. mume genome encodes 133 genes (110 unique genes), including 94 protein-coding genes, 31 tRNA and 8 rRNA genes.
