Merr, a member of the genus in the family Rubiaceae, possesses significant medicinal and ornamental value and is widely distributed in China. This study reports the newly sequenced chloroplast genome of Merr. The complete chloroplast genome of Merr (155,109 bp, GC content of 37.5%) was shown to have a typical quadripartite structure, containing a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 28,802 bp separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,396 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,109 bp. The chloroplast genome contained 151 genes encoding 106 proteins, 37 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs. The Merr chloroplast genome displayed the closest phylogenetic relationship to and var. grandiflora. These data will assist in future molecular phylogenetics of the Rubiaceae.

The chloroplast genome is an important tool for studying plant classification, evolution, and the heterologous production of secondary metabolites and protein drugs. With advancements in sequencing technology and reductions in sequencing costs, chloroplast genome data have rapidly accumulated. However, existing chloroplast genome databases suffer from issues such as incomplete data, inadequate management, and inconsistent, inaccurate information, posing significant challenges for the development and utilization of the chloroplast genome.

With the development of molecular pharmacognosy, the advantages of DNA molecular markers in the identification of original plants of Chinese medicinal materials are becoming increasingly significant. To compensate for the limitations of existing markers in the quality supervision of Chinese medicinal materials, our team has independently designed a new molecular marker named DNA signature sequence(DSS). This marker is a nucleotide sequence that only appears in a specific taxonomic unit, with a length of 40 bp and high identification accuracy.
