The complete plastome of Gymnotheca chinensis (Saururaceae) and its phylogenetic analysis.

ABSTRACT: The complete plastome of Gymnotheca chinensis, an important medicinal herb, was firstly elucidated and analyzed in this study. The plastome is 161,621 bp in size, which comprises of one large single-copy (LSC) region and one small single-copy (SSC) region of 89,291 bp and 18,592 bp, respectively, separated by a pair of IR regions of 26,869 bp each. It encodes a total of 132 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA, and 8 rRNA. The phylogeny robustly supports that G. chinensis is sister to the clade including Piper kadsura, Piper cenocladum, Saruma henryi, Asarum sieboldii.
