The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Kadsura interior.

The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Kadsura interior was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 153,201 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,774 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,077 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 24,673 bp each. The genome contains 129 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 39.6%, . The further phylogenomic analysis showed that K. interior and Kadsura coccinea clustered in a clade in Schisandraceae family.
