Abstract
Cymbidium hookerianum Rchb.f. is an ornamental orchid with large flowers and delicate aroma. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. hookerianum. The total chloroplast genome cycle was 155,447 bp. It displayed a typical structure including one large single-copy (LSC, 84,186 bp) region, one small single-copy (SSC, 17,839 bp) region, and two inverted repeat (IRs, 26,711 bp). 124 genes (78 CDSs, 38 tRNAs, 8 rRNAs) were encoded by the cp genome. The average GC content of this sequence was 36.8%. The phylogenetic analysis revealed C. hookerianum and C. changningense are sisters. The groundwork of chloroplast genome would provide available reference for molecular taxonomy and breeding.
