Characterization of the complete plastid genome and phylogenetic analysis of Oreocharis argyreia var. angustifolia (Gesneriaceae).

ABSTRACT: Oreocharis argyreia var. angustifolia of Gesneriaceae is widely distributed in South China, including Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, and Jiangxi provinces. However, genetic information of this species is limited, further contributing to the taxonomic complications surrounding this species. Thus, in this study, we assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of O. argyreia var. angustifolia as a genomic resource for future studies. The complete plastid genome was 154,675 bp in size, with a pair of inverted repeat regions of 25,329 bp each, separating the 85,977-bp large and 18,040-bp small single copy regions. A total of 131 genes were predicted, consisting of 86 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. The overall GC content was 37.6%. Phylogene
