Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Pedicularis shansiensis (Orobanchaceae), an endemic species of China

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Pedicularis shansiensis Tsoong was determined and described. The circular chloroplast genome is 151,902 bp in length and contains a large single-copy region of 83,180 bp, a small single-copy region of 17,284 bp and two inverted repeat regions of 25,719 bp. The chloroplast genome contains 132 genes, including 86 protein-coding, 8 rRNA, and 38 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis shows Pedicularis species cluster together and P. shansiensis forms a clade with P. dissect.
