Comprehensive comparative analysis and development of molecular markers for Lasianthus species based on complete chloroplast genome sequences.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lasianthus species are widely used in traditional Chinese folk medicine with high medicinal value. However, source materials and herbarium specimens are often misidentified due to morphological characteristics and commonly used DNA barcode fragments are not sufficient for accurately identifying Lasianthus species. To improve the molecular methods for distinguishing among Lasianthus species, we report the complete chloroplast (CP) genomes of Lasianthus attenuatus, Lasianthus henryi, Lasianthus hookeri, Lasianthus sikkimensis, obtained via high-throughput Illumina sequencing.

Results

These showed CP genomes size of 160164-160246 bp and a typical quadripartite structure, including a large single-copy region (86675-86848 bp), a small single-copy region (17177-17326 bp
