The complete chloroplast genome sequence of 'Limoncello' (Rosales: Rosaceae).

'Limoncello' finds applications in gardening and landscaping. In this study, we assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast genome of this variety for the first time. The length of its chloroplast genome was 156,493 bp, containing two short inverted repeat regions of 26,052 bp, each separated by a large single-copy region of 85,649 bp and a small single-copy region of 18,740 bp. The chloroplast DNA of 'Limoncello' consisted of 135 genes, including 90 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. On comparing the complete chloroplast sequence of 'Limoncello' with that of other species, 'Limoncello' was found to be closely related to . Thus, information on the chloroplast genome sequence of this rose variety can facilitate phylogenetic studies of the genus .
