We report the complete chloroplast genome of , a popular house-plant all over the world. The complete chloroplast genome of was sequenced using an Illumina Miseq platform. The circular genome is 153,694 bp in length and comprises a large single copy (LSC, 84,485 bp) region and a small single copy (SSC, 17,689 bp) region, which are separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb, 25,760 bp each). The overall GC content is 37.2%. The chloroplast genome encodes 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and four ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on 18 chloroplast genomes indicates that is closely related to the clade of sect. , sect. and sect. .

Chloroplast genomes present an alternative strategy for large-scale engineering of photosynthetic eukaryotes. Prior to our work, the chloroplast genomes of (204 kb) and (140 kb) had been cloned using bacterial and yeast artificial chromosome (BAC/YAC) libraries, respectively. These methods lack design flexibility as they are reliant upon the random capture of genomic fragments during BAC/YAC library creation; additionally, both demonstrated a low efficiency (≤ 10%) for correct assembly of the genome in yeast.

Photosynthetic microalgae are promising green cell factories for the sustainable production of high-value chemicals and biopharmaceuticals. The chloroplast organelle is being developed as a chassis for synthetic biology as it contains its own genome (the plastome) and some interesting advantages, such as high recombinant protein titers and a diverse and dynamic metabolism. However, chloroplast engineering is currently hampered by the lack of standardized cloning tools and Design-Build-Test-Learn workflows to ease genomic and metabolic engineering.

Modulation of stomatal development and movement is a promising approach for creating water-conserving plants. Here, we identified and characterized the PagHCF106 gene of poplar (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa). The PagHCF106 protein localized predominantly to the chloroplast, and the PagHCF106 gene exhibited tissue-specific expression pattern.

is a popular ornamental aquatic plant for aquarists, although only six species are found in China. Destruction of the natural habitats of for human activities has led to a decline in its numbers. In this report, we sequenced and annotated the chloroplast genome for the first time.
