The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels at Gilg.
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels at Gilg, a critical Chinese medicine, is reported here. The complete chloroplast genome of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels at Gilg is 159 914 bp in length with 37.55% overall GC content. A pair of IRs (inverted repeats) of 26 510 bp were separated by LSC (87 927 bp) and SSC (18 967 bp). The phylogenetic analysis of 40 taxa showed a strong sister relationship with all other rosids. However, the placement of Myrtales still needs further verification.
