Popis: AbstractGastrochilus sinensis is a beautiful epiphytic orchid with high ornamental value. In this study, the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of G. sinensis was determined using next-generation sequencing (NGS). The de novo assembled chloroplast genome was 148,020 bp in length, including a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs; 25,987 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC; 11,045 bp), and a large single-copy region (LSC; 85,001 bp). The chloroplast genome encodes 109 unique genes, including 75 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The total GC content of the chloroplast genome was 36.8%. The phylogenetic analysis showed a close relationship between G. sinensis and G. formosanus species. The complete chloroplast genome provides fundamental information for genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships in Gastrochilus.
