Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Chinese endemic species of Aster batangensis (Asteraceae: Astereae) and its phylogenetic implications.

ABSTRACT: This study was the first report complete chloroplast genome of Aster batangensis (Astereae: Asteraceae), the perennial herb endemic to China. The plastid genome of Aster batangensis include 132 unique genes, with 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Among these genes, 21 duplicate genes, including10 protein-coding genes, 7 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes were detected. The complete genome size of Aster batangensis has a typical quadripartite circular structure with 152,605 bp in total length, consisting a large single copy (LSC) of 84,351 bp and a small single copy (SSC) of 18,212 bp, separated by a pair of invested repeats (IR) of 25,021 bp. The average GC content of whole plastome sequence is 37.3%, and the LSC, SSC and IR regions is 35.3%, 31.3%, a
