Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Phalaenopsis deliciosa (Rchb. f. 1854)

Phalaenopsis deliciosa (Rchb. f.), an ornamental orchid known for vibrant flowers, has a 148,090 bp chloroplast genome with 36.78% GC content. It includes an 85,241 bp large single-copy (LSC) region, an 11,649 bp small single-copy (SSC) region, and two 13,800 bp inverted repeats (IRs), encoding 122 genes (76 protein-coding, 38 tRNA, and 8 rRNA). This genome data refines the Phalaenopsis gene database and supports research on phylogeny and molecular breeding.
