The complete chloroplast genome of hemi-parasitic Pedicularis hallaisanensis (Orobanchaceae).

ABSTRACT: We determined the complete chloroplast genome of Pedicularis hallaisanensis (Orobanchaceae), a hemi-parasitic perennial herb. This genome is 143,469 bp long and features a large single-copy region (81,664 bp) and a small single-copy region (12,203 bp), separated by two inverted-repeat regions (24,801 bp each). It contains 115 genes - 70 for coding, eight for rRNA, and 37 for tRNA. However, 11 ndh genes have been pseudogenized, truncated, or deleted. Our phylogenetic tree showed that these hemi-parasitic plants are sister to holo-parasitic genera within Orobanchaceae.
