AI Article Synopsis

  • - The text discusses an herbaceous perennial plant from the Asteraceae family found in East Asia and highlights its edible young leaves and antitumor properties in Korea.
  • - The plant's complete plastome, measuring 150,773 bp, includes 130 genes essential for its functions and features a typical angiosperm structure with distinct regions (inverted repeats, large and small single-copy regions).
  • - This research presents the first complete chloroplast genome for the genus, contributing valuable data for understanding the evolutionary relationships within the Asteraceae family.

Article Abstract

is an herbaceous perennial of the Asteraceae family native to forests in China, Korea, Japan, and eastern Russia. In Korea, the young leaves of the plant are edible and the extract is known to have antitumor effects. The length of the complete plastome was found to be 150,773 bp, including 130 genes, consisting of 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The assembled plastome showed typical structure and gene content of the angiosperm plastome, which includes two inverted repeats (IR) regions of 24839 bp, a large single copy (LSC) region of 82911 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18184 bp. The total G/C content in the plastome was 37.5%. The maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree strongly supports that is closely related to the hosts of . This study reports the first complete chloroplast genome of the genus and will contribute to the phylogenetics of the family Asteraceae.
