The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Actinidia arguta var. giraldii.

The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Actinidia arguta var. giraldii (Diels) Vorosch. was assembled and characterized by Illumina pair-end sequencing date. The complete plastid genome was 156,729 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) of 89,647 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) of 22,482 bp, which was separated by a pair of 22,300 bp inverted repeat regions (IR). A total of 131 unique genes were identified, including 84 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic position based on the chloroplast genome of 11 species showed that A. arguta var. giraldii was sister to Actinidia kolomikta.
