The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Zygophyllum kansuense Y. X. Liou (Zygophyllaceae).

Zygophyllum kansuense Y. X. Liou is a localized species and endemic to China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Z. kansuense was sequenced and described. The length of complete chloroplast genome was 105,383 base pairs (bp) for Z. kansuense , the genome with 33.8% GC content, containing a large single-copy (LSC) of 79,594 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) of 17,061 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 4,364 bp. The genome contains 112 genes, including 75 protein-coding genes, 33 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that Z. kansuense and others of Zygophyllum clustered into one clade with a high support value.
