We investigated the details of its chloroplast genome which may reveal its genus independent of morphological determination. Here, we determined the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of C. campanulata and performed sequence analysis to reveal the presence of 18 forward repeats, 20 palindrome repeats, 2 complement repeats, 4 reverse repeats and 93 simple sequence repeats (SSRs). We additionally performed a comparative study of C. campanulata and seven other Prunoideae focke species. Then, maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analyses were carried out in the little part of Rosaceae, respectively. The results strongly support a position of C. campanulata as a member of the Cerasus in the Rosaceae family. Moreover, the complete cp genome can be used for plant phylogenetic and evolutionary studies that will provide insight into the degree of gene conservation.}, DOI = {10.32604/phyton.2020.08831} }
