title: Sequencing andDe NovoAssembly of the Complete Chloroplast Genome of the Peruvian Carrot (Arracacia xanthorrhizaBancroft).
abstract: Arracacia xanthorrhizais an important secondary food crop in South America and Puerto Rico. The lack of crop protection and improvement strategies leads to infections damaging the storage roots. Here, we report the annotated complete chloroplast genome sequence ofA. xanthorrhizaas a step toward developing genomic resources for this crop.
