The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Asarum sieboldii Miq. (Aristolochiaceae), a medicinal plant in Korea.

ABSTRACT: Asarum sieboldii is a medicinal plant belonging to the Aristolochiaceae family. In this study, complete chloroplast genome sequence of A. sieboldii was characterized through de novo assembly with next generation sequencing data. The chloroplast genome is 193,356 bp long and has the stereotypical tripartite organization consisting of large single copy region and a pair of inverted repeats. The genome contains 78 protein-coding genes, 30 rRNA genes, and 4 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. sieboldii has close relationship with Piper coenoclatum (Piperaceae, Piperales).
