Abstract: We sequenced the complete plastid genome (plastome) forPiper kadsura, a woody vine endemic to East Asia. This species is part of the largest genus within Piperaceae and its genome is almost identical to its congenerP. cenocladum.The plastome forP. kadsuracomprises 131 genes, including four unique rRNAs, 30 tRNAs, and 79 protein-coding genes. It retainsycf1as an intact open reading frame. Our phylogenetic analysis demonstrated the monophyly of thePipergenus. The additional plastome sequence found in this evolutionarily and economically important genus will be a valuable, fundamental tool for future studies of phylogenetic relationships among basal angiosperms, and will provide a useful resource for molecular breeding programs.
