title: The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Perilla frutescens (L.).
abstract: Perilla frutescens (L.) is a traditionally medical herb of East Asia. The complete chloroplast genome of P. frutescens (L.) Britton var. frutescens was assembled in this study. Total chloroplast genome size of Perilla was 153,666 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,677 bp, separated by large single copy (LSC) and small single copy (SSC) of 84,288 bp and 17,925 bp, respectively. Overall GC contents of the genome were 37.6%. The chloroplast genome harbored 127 annotated genes, including 89 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. Eleven genes contained one or two introns.
