Comparative chloroplast genome analysis of medicinally important (Melanthiaceae) in China: Insights into genomic characterization and phylogenetic relationships.

Members of are perennial herbs widely used in traditional Chinese medicine to induce vomiting, resolve blood stasis and relieve pain. However, the intrageneric classification and phylogenetic relationships within have long been controversial due to the complexity of morphological variations and lack of high-resolution molecular markers. In this study, we reevaluated the infrageneric relationships with the genus using complete chloroplast genome sequence data.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Solanaceae).

is a Solanaceae perennial plant, which is endemic to China and classified as an endangered species. In this study, we have sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of , which is 156,079 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,526 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,741 bp and comprises a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 25,906 bp. Totally 134 genes were annotated, including 87 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of W. T. Wang (Ranunculaceae): a medicinal plant endemic to China.

The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of W. T. Wang, a rare and endangered medicinal plant endemic to southwestern China, was sequenced to be 155,818 bp in length, including two inverted repeat (IR, 26,128 bp) regions, one large single-copy region (LSC) and one small single-copy region (SSC) of 86,555 bp and 17,007 bp, respectively.

The complete chloroplast genome and phylogenetic analysis of Loes. F. (Liliaceae).

Loes. F. is a medicinal plant belonging to the genus (Liliaceae).

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Gentianaceae): a medicinal species endemic to China.

is an important medicinal plant endemic to South-east Yunnan, China, which has been widely used to treat icteric hepatitis. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of is presented in this study, the total size is 153,015 bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure including a pair of inverted repeat (IRs, 25,786 bp) regions separated by a large single copy (LSC, 83,048 bp) region and a small single copy (SSC, 18,395 bp) region. The overall GC content of it is 38.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of and (Asteraceae).

The complete chloroplast genomes of (Vant.) Hand-Mazz and (Lindl.) Benth were reported in this study.

Complete chloroplast genome sequences of two species (Zingiberaceae).

and are well known medicinal and edible plants with a strong fragrance and flavour in China. Here, we have sequenced the two complete chloroplast genomes of and , which are 163,612 bp and 163,487 bp in length, respectively, and exhibited LSC and SSC regions separated by a pair of inverted repeat regions. The cp genome of has 120 annotated genes, including 82 protein-coding genes, while has 121 annotated genes, including 83 protein-coding genes.

The complete plastid genome sequence of (Plantaginaceae): an endangered species endemic to The Himalayas regions.

(Pennell) Hong, an endangered perennial species, is endemic to the Eastern Himalayas and Hengduan Mountains. In this study, we have sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of , which is 152,643 bp in length, including two inverted repeat (IR, 25,829 bp) regions, one large single copy region (LSC) and one small single copy region (SSC) of 83,191 bp and 17,794 bp, respectively. The cp genome has 131 annotated genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes.
