Characterisation of the complete chloroplast genome of Franch. (gentianaceae), a medicinal plant in southwest of China.

is a medicinal plant commonly used in southwest of China. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of to investigate its phylogenetic relationship in the family Gentianaceae. The chloroplast genome of was 151,569 bp in length with 37.8% overall GC content, including a large single copy (LSC) region of 81,177 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 16,921 bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,471 bp. The cp genome contained 114 genes, including 78 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated was closely related to .
