title: The complete chloroplast genome sequence and phylogenetic analysis ofChuanminshen(ChuanminshenviolaceumSheh et Shan).
abstract: Chloroplast genome sequences are very useful for species identification and phylogenetics.Chuanminshen(Chuanminshen violaceumSheh et Shan) is an important traditional Chinese medicinal plant, for which the phylogenetic position is still controversial. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome ofChuanminshen violaceumSheh et Shan was determined. The total size ofChuanminshenchloroplast genome was 154,529 bp with 37.8% GC content. It has the typical quadripartite structure, a large single copy (17,800 bp) and a small single copy (84,171 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (26,279 bp). The whole genome harbors 132 genes, which includes 85 protein coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, eight rRNA genes, and two pseudogenes. Thirty-nine SSR loci, 32 tandem repeats and 49 dispersed repeats were found. Phylogenetic analyses results with the help of MEGA showed a new insight for theChuanminshenphylogenetic relationship with the reported chloroplast genomes inApialesplants.
