Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Silene jenisseensis, Arenaria juncea, and Gypsophila licentiana: gene organization, comparative analysis, and phylogenetic relationships.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gypsophila Radix (Chinese: ShanYin ChaiHu) is a traditional Chinese medicine derived from the dried roots of three Caryophyllaceae species: Silene jenisseensis, Arenaria juncea, and Gypsophila licentiana. Clinically, it is used as an adjuvant therapy for hepatic fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B. However, no reports have yet described the chloroplast genomes of these species. This study aimed to sequence and characterize the chloroplast genomes of these three species and to explore their phylogenetic relationships within Caryophyllaceae.

Methods

The complete chloroplast genomes of S. jenisseensis, A. juncea, and G. licentiana were sequenced and annotated. Comparative genomic analyses were performed among these species and with representative members of the same fami
