Maicelo (2022) Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of a Peruvian landrace of Capsicum chinense Jacq. (Solanaceae), arnaucho chili pepper, Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 7:1, 156-158, doi: 10.1080/23802359.2021.2014366https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12955/1631In this study, we sequenced the first complete chloroplast (cp) genome of a Peruvian chili pepper landrace, “arnacucho” (Capsicum chinense). This cp genome has a 156,931 bp in length with typical quadripartite structure, containing a large single copy (LSC) region (87,325 bp) and a 17,912 bp small single-copy (SSC) region, separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions (25,847 bp); and the percentage of GC content was 37.71%. Arnaucho chili pepper chloroplast genome possesses 133 genes that consists of 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA, eight rRNA, and two pseudogenes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that this Peruvian chili pepper landrace is closely related to the undomesticated species C. galapagoense; all belong to the Capsiceae tribe.application/pdfenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/NGSChloroplastGenetic resourcesArnauchoPhylogenomicsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#4.04.00Mitochondrial DNA Part Bhttps://doi.org/10.1080/23802359.2021.2014366
