Abstract Azalea is a general designation of Rhododendron in the Ericaceae family. Rhododendron not only has high
ornamental value but also has application value in ecological protection, medicine, and scientific research. In this
study, we used Illumina and PacBio sequencing to assemble and annotate the entire chloroplast genomes (cp
genomes) of four Rhododendron species. The chloroplast genomes of R. concinnum, R. henanense subsp. lingbaoense,
R. micranthum, and R. simsii were assembled into 207,236, 208,015, 207,233, and 206,912 bp, respectively. All
chloroplast genomes contain eight rRNA genes, with either 88 or 89 protein-coding genes. The four cp genomes were
compared and analyzed… More >
