The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Ligularia fischeri (Ledeb.) Turcz. (Asteraceae).

ABSTRACT: We characterized the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Ligularia fischeri, a collection from Halla Mountain in Jeju Island, Korea. The plants are utilized as edible functional plant species harbouring useful antioxidant compounds in family Asteraceae. De novo assembly with whole genome sequencing data of L. fischeri completed the chloroplast genome of 151?133?bp long, which included two inverted repeats (IRs) blocks of 24?831?bp, separated by the large single-copy block of 83?238?bp and small single-copy block of 18?233?bp. The genome encoded 113 genes consisting of 80 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis with protein coding gene sequences of reported Asteraceae chloroplast genomes revealed a close relationship of L. fischeri with Jacobaea vulgaris, a weed species world-widely distributed.
