The complete chloroplast genome of Vitis amurensis Rupr., an economic plant to China

The chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Vitis amurensis has been characterized from Illumina pair-end sequencing. The complete cp genome was 161,014 bp in length, containing a large single-copy region (LSC) of 89,239 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 19,067 bp, which were separated by a pair of 26,354 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). The genome contained 133 genes, including 88 protein coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content is 37.4%, while the corresponding values of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 35.3%, 31.7%, and 43.0%, respectively. Further, phylogenetic analysis suggested that the V. amurensis was sister to Vitis coignetiae.
