Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Scrophularia cephalantha endemic to Korea.

ABSTRACT: Scrophularia species are highly valued and widely used traditional medicinal plants in East Asia. In this article, the complete chloroplast genome of Scrophularia cephalantha, a species endemic to South Korea, is reported for the first time. The genome is 153,016 bp long, and it is composed of a pair of 25,485 bp inverted repeats (IRs), separated by a large single copy (LSC) region of 84,124 bp, and a small single copy (SSC) region of 17,922 bp. There are 133 predicted genes in the genome, comprising 88 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNAs, and 8 rRNAs, with an overall GC content of 38%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the chloroplast genome data showed that S. cephalantha is a sister species to S. buergeriana and S. ningpoensis. The data provide useful molecula
