Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Endangered Species in the Genus Opisthopappus C. Shih: Characterization, Species Identification, and Phylogenetic Relationships.

ABSTRACT: Opisthopappus C. Shih is a rare genus of the Asteraceae family native to the Taihang Mountains in China. Due to the narrow distribution area, poor reproduction ability and human harvesting, Opisthopappus is threatened by extinction. However, the limited genetic information within Opisthopappus impede understanding of the conservation efforts and bioprospecting. Therefore, in this study, we reported the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequences of two Opisthopappus species, including Opisthopappus taihangensis and Opisthopappus longilobus. The cp genomes of O. taihangensis and O. longilobus were 151,117 and 151,123 bp, which contained 88 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The repeat sequences, codon usage, RNA-edit
