Complete chloroplast genome of Chloranthus henryi (chloranthaceae).

ABSTRACT: The complete chloroplast genome of Chloranthus henryi, an important traditional Chinese herbal medicine, was sequenced and characterized in this study. The genome size is 157,990 bp in length with 37.3% GC content. Two inverted repeats of 26,151 bp are separated by a large single-copy region (87,148 bp), and a small single-copy region (18,569 bp). A total of 131 genes were identified, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. Eight plastome accessions from Chloranthales, Austrobaileyales, Nymphaeales, and Amborellales were selected to assess the phylogenetic placement of genus.
