AbstractHere, the complete chloroplast genome sequence ofZingiber teresis described using MGI paired-end sequencing. The genome is 163,428 bp in length and contains a small single-copy region (SSC) of 15,782 bp, a large single-copy region (LSC) of 88,142 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 29,752 bp. The overall GC content is 36.1%, and the GC content of the IR regions is 41.1%, which is higher than that of both the LSC region (33.8%) and SSC region (29.5%). The genome ofZ. terescontains 133 complete genes, including 88 protein-coding genes (79 protein-coding gene species), 38 tRNA genes (28 tRNA species), and 8 rRNA genes (four rRNA species). Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis yielded a well-resolved tree of the genusZingiber, andZ. teresandZingiber miogawere sister species in this tree. The development of DNA barcodes could aid the identification ofZingiberspecies.
