The complete chloroplast genome of Artemisia hallaisanensis Nakai (Asteraceae), an endemic medicinal herb in Korea.

ABSTRACT: We determined the complete chloroplast DNA sequence of Artemisia hallaisanensis Nakai, an endemic herbal species distributed on Jeju Island, Korea. The chloroplast DNA is 151,015 bp in length and encodes 4 rRNA, 30 tRNA, and 80 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis and sequence comparison of protein-coding genes with other Artemisa chloroplast DNAs revealed that the chloroplast genome of A. hallaisanensis is closely related to that of A. capillaris. Additionally, a unique 9 bp deletion in ycf1 gene is specific to A. hallaisanensis.
