The complete chloroplast genome of the Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) and an adaptive evolutionary analysis of the ycf2 gene.

ABSTRACT: Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) is widely cultivated in Northwest China, and it has become an emerging economic crop that is rapidly developing. Because of its elevated inulin content and high resistance, it is widely used in functional food, inulin processing, feed, and ecological management. In this study, Illumina sequencing technology was utilized to assemble and annotate the complete chloroplast genome sequences of Jerusalem artichoke. The total length was 151,431 bp, including four conserved regions: A pair of reverse repeat regions (IRa 24,568 bp and IRb 24,603 bp), a large single-copy region (83,981 bp), and a small single-copy region (18,279 bp). The genome had a total of 115 genes, with 19 present in the reverse direction in the IR region. A total of 36 simpl
