The first report describes features of the chloroplast genome of Withania frutescens.

ABSTRACT: Genomic studies not only help researcher not only to identify genomic features in organisms, but also facilitate understanding of evolutionary relationships. Species in the Withania genus have medicinal benefits, and one of them is Withania frutescens, which is used to treat various diseases. This report investigates the nucleotides and genic features of chloroplast genome of Withania frutescens and trying to clarify the evolutionary relationship with Withania sp and family Solanaceae. We found that the total size of Withania frutescens chloroplast genome was 153.771 kb (the smallest chloroplast genome in genus Withania). A large single-copy region (91.285 kb), a small single-copy region (18.373 kb) form the genomic region, and are distinct from each othe
