The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Caryophyllaceae).

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Makino (Caryophyllaceae) was determined. The genome was 151,831 bp long, consisting of a large single-copy region (83,875 bp) and a small single-copy region (17,591 bp) separated by two inverted repeats (25,331 bp). The plastome contained 124 genes; 82 encode proteins, 34 encode tRNA, and eight encode rRNA. The gene quantity and order resembled those of a typical Caryophyllaceae plastome. Phylogenetic analysis using 79 gene sequences from 14 previously reported genomes of Caryophyllaceae showed that clades were nested within the genus, suggesting that is a lower taxonomic rank than genus.
