The complete chloroplast genome and phylogenetic analysis of Viburnum furcatum (adoxaceae)

Viburnum furcatum is a deciduous shrub distributed in Korea, Japan, and Sakhalin. We sequenced, assembled, and annotated the complete chloroplast genome of a specimen from Ulleungdo Island, Korea. The genome is a typical quadripartite circular molecule of 158,284 bp, comprising a large single-copy region of 86,878 bp, a small single-copy region of 18,400 bp, and two inverted repeats of 26,503 bp each, with an average sequencing depth of 654.43×. The genome contains 128 genes, with 83 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis places V. furcatum as a sister to V. sympodiale. These data provide a valuable information for future studies of Viburnum.
