Complete chloroplast genome sequence leads to phylogenetic insights in the Rubiaceae family.
Cephalanthus tetrandrus (Roxb.) Ridsdale & Bakh.f. (1976) is a medicinally significant plant with applications in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, yet its molecular aspects remain poorly studied. This study presents its first complete chloroplast genome comprising 155,133 bp with a GC content of 37.56%. The genome follows a typical quadripartite structure, comprising LSC (85,727 bp), SSC (18,084 bp), and two IR regions (25,661 bp each). The genome contains 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis clarified its evolutionary relationships within the Rubiaceae family, providing valuable resources for future studies.
