The complete chloroplast genome and phylogeny of Artemisia selengensis in Dongting Lake.

ABSTRACT: Artemisia selengensis Turcz (Louhao in Chinese) is a widely used health food and a well-known traditional Chinese medicine. However, only a small part of the chloroplast genome data of Artemisia has been reported and there was no report for A. selengensis. In this study, we presented the complete chloroplast genome of A. selengensis and analysed its phylogenetic relationship with other 28 related species belonging to the Asteraceae family. The result showed that the whole genome was 151 215 bp in length with a typical conserved quadripartite structure. The total GC content of whole genome, LSC, SSC, and IRa/IRb regions was 37.46, 35.55, 30.81, and 43.09%, respectively. A total of 133 genes were identified, including 88 protein-coding, 37 transfer RNA, and
