Complete chloroplast genome of glyphosate resistant L. from Australia, with notes on the small single copy (SSC) region orientation.

, common sowthistle, is an asteraceous weed in Australian agricultural systems and has recently developed resistance to glyphosate. We present the complete chloroplast sequence of reconstructed from Illumina whole genome shotgun sequencing. This is the first complete chloroplast genome available for the genus . The complete chloroplast sequence is 151,808 bp long. A Bayesian phylogeny of the chloroplast coding regions of the tribe Cichorieae (Asteraceae) is presented. The chloroplast genome is deposited at GenBank under accession number MG878405.
