The complete chloroplast genome sequence and phylogenetic analysis of <i>Ranunculus kadzusensis</i> Makino 1929, an endangered species in Korea

<i>Ranunculus kadzusensis</i> Makino 1929 is one of the endangered endemic species on the Korean Peninsula. The complete chloroplast of <i>R. kadzusensis</i> is 158,301 bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure comprised of a large single-copy region (84,973 bp), a small single-copy region (17,638 bp), and two inverted repeat regions, each 27,845 bp in length. The overall GC content is 37.83%, the genome encoded a total of 113 genes, comprising 79 protein-encoding genes, 30 tRNA, and four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that <i>R. kadzusensis</i> was closely related to <i>Ranunculus pekinensis</i> and <i>Ranunculus bungei</i>. This chloroplast genome enriches Ranunculus's genome information and will also be valid for the species' genetic classification in the family Ranunculaceae.
