Description
Can Zheng and colleagues publish the full chloroplast genome of a grape-family vine in a 2026 article. Causonis japonica is the type species of its genus and holds medicinal and classification value. Its shifting looks have long caused confusion with close relatives across East Asia.
The circular genome spans 158,414 bases in the usual four-part layout, with two matching repeat sections. Annotation found 139 genes, covering protein coding, transfer RNA, and ribosomal RNA types, with a modest overall GC share. Comparing full chloroplast genomes across the family placed the species on its own branch, clearly separate from Cissus and Tetrastigma relatives.
