Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Chenopodium sp. (Caryophyllales: Chenopodiaceae)

Abstract

In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Chenopodium sp. were sequenced and annotated. The complete chloroplast genome of Chenopodium sp. was composed of circular DNA molecules with a total length of 152,068 bp. The base composition of this chloroplast genome is as follows: A (31.16%), T (31.58%), G (18.27%), and C (18.99%). The chloroplast genome contains 84 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and 37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The taxonomic status of the Chenopodium sp. chloroplast genome exhibits a closest relationship with Chenopodium quinoa.
