The complete chloroplast genome of Ocimum basilicum L. var. basilicum (Lamiaceae) and its phylogenetic analysis.

ABSTRACT: Ocimum basilicum L. var. basilicum (Sweet Basil) is an aromatic herb belonging to the family Lamiaceae and is known for its medicinal uses. It is commonly used in traditional medicine for its therapeutic value, including anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, and antimicrobial properties. In this study, we generated the complete chloroplast genome sequence of O. basilicum var. basilicum using Illumina paired-end sequencing data. The chloroplast genome was 152,407 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,409 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 17,604 bp, separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,697 bp. The genome contained 134 genes, including 89 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. Nine genes
