title: The complete chloroplast genome of Aconitum chiisanense Nakai (Ranunculaceae).
abstract: We determined the complete chloroplast DNA sequence of Aconitum chiisanense Nakai, a rare Aconitum species endemic to Korea. The chloroplast genome is 155 934 bp in length and contains 4 rRNA, 30 tRNA, and 78 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the chloroplast genome of A. chiisanense is closely related to that of A. barbatum var. puberulum. Sequence comparison with other Ranunculaceae chloroplasts identified a unique deletion in the rps16 gene of A. chiisanense chloroplast DNA that can serve as a molecular marker for species identification.
