Complete chloroplast genome and phylogenetic analysis of Liu, Chao, and Chuang, 1977: an endemic species in Taiwan.

Liu, Chao, and Chuang is an endemic and endangered herb in Taiwan. In this study, the complete circular chloroplast genome of was reconstructed and annotated using Illumina sequencing. The genome size of is 155,938 bp, including a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs: 26308 bp), separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,784 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,538 bp. The GC content of the chloroplast genome is 37.6%. There are 113 different genes in the chloroplast genome of , including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. A maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed that species is the monophyletic group, and belongs to subgenus and is closely related to
