Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome of a staghorn fern species (Platycerium wallichii) was sequenced. The total genome was 158,286 bp in length, containing four regions: large single-copy (LSC) region (79,087 bp), small single-copy (SSC) region (21,397 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IRs; 28,901 bp per each). In total 129 genes were annotated including 88 coding genes, 33 tRNAs, and 8 rRNAs. The overall GC content of the genome is 40.5%. Phylogenetic analysis supported the monophyly of both the subfamily Platycerioideae and the genus Platycerium. The genome data provides crucial information to support the future conservation and horticulture research.
