Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Serissa serissoides (DC.) Druce, a well-known traditional Yao medicinal plant belonging to the genus Serissa, was investigated in this study. We firstly characterized its complete chloroplast genome, which is 154,653 bp in size and possesses a typical quadripartite structure consisting of an 84,139 bp LSC region, a 17,060 bp SSC region and a pair of 26,727 bp IR regions. In total, 130 functional genes were annotated, including 84 protein-coding, 38 tRNA and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that S. serissoides is phylogenetically close to species of the genus Leptodermis.
