title: The complete chloroplast genome of salt cress (Eutrema salsugineum).
abstract: The complete chloroplast (cp) sequence of the salt cress (Eutrema salsugineum), a plant well-adapted to salt stress, was presented in this study. The circular molecule is 153,407 bp in length and exhibit a typical quadripartite structure containing an 83,894 bp large single copy (LSC) region, a 17,607 bp small single copy (SSC) region, and the two 25,953 bp inverted repeats (IRs). The salt cress cp genome contains 135 known genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 40 tRNA genes; 21 of these are located in the inverted repeat region. As expected, phylogenetic analysis support the idea that E. salsugineum is sister to Brassiceae species within the Brassicaceae family.
