Comparative Analysis of Chloroplast Genome of Desmodium stryacifolium with Closely Related Legume Genome from the Phaseoloid Clade.

ABSTRACT: Desmodium styracifolium is a medicinal plant from the Desmodieae tribe, also known as Grona styracifolia. Its role in the treatment of urolithiasis, urinary infections, and cholelithiasis has previously been widely documented. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of D. Styracifolium is 149,155 bp in length with a GC content of 35.2%. It is composed of a large single copy (LSC) of 82,476 bp and a small single copy (SSC) of 18,439 bp, which are separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) of 24,120 bp each and has 128 genes. We performed a comparative analysis of the D. styracifolium cpDNA with the genome of previously investigated members of the Sesamoidea tribe and on the outgroup from its Phaseolinae sister tribe. The size of all seven
