The complete chloroplast genome sequence of medicinal plant Conyza blinii H.Lév

Abstract

Conyza blinii is a widely used medicinal plant in the southwest of Sichuan with great economic value. Its chloroplast (cp) genome was 152,503 bp in length with the typical quadripartite structures of the large (LSC, 84,210 bp) and small (SSC, 18,257 bp) single-copy regions, separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 25,018 bp). The genome contains 114 encoding genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs and 4 rRNAs. The overall GC content of the whole cp genome is 37.4% which is similar to the other reported asteridae cp genomes.
