Abstract

Paeonia jishanensis is endemic in China, and has been proven to be one of the most important ancestral species of cultivated tree peonies. Wild P. jishanensis has been over-exploited and becomes quite rare in China. The wild peony of P. jishanensis was used as an experimental material to sequence the chloroplast genome (cpDNA) by high-throughput sequencing (NCBI accession number: MG991935). The cpDNA of P. jishanensis is a typical quadripartite structure with a length of 152,628 bp, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,292 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,044 bp separated by a pair of identical inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 25,646 bp each. The cpDNA contains 112 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA genes, and 4 ribosomal RNA genes. The result of phylogenomic analysis supports the difference of tree peony from the herbaceous peony.
