The complete chloroplast genome of Citrus medica (Rutaceae)

Citrus medica (C. medica), belonging to the family Rutaceae, possibly originated in north-east India and is now cultivated in subtropical and tropical regions. In this study, the assembled cp genome of C. medica exhibited a typical quadripartite cycle of 160,031 bp, composing of a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 26,991 bp each) separated by a large single-copy (LSC, 87,476 bp) region and a small single copy (SSC, 18,573 bp) region. A total of 134 genes were annotated in this cp genome. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. medica was closely related to Citrus limon (C. limon) and Citrus sinensis (C. sinensis)
