medicinal herb in southeast China. It belongs to the huge family Melastomataceae, which
contains over 5000 species worldwide. In this study, we used next-generation sequencing to
determine the complete chloroplast genome sequences of M. dodecandrum, which is a
circular molecule of 156,611 bp in length. After annotation, we identified 131 putative genes
in total, comprised of 85 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNA genes and 8 ribosomal RNA …
