The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Oxytropis bicolor Bunge (Fabaceae)

Abstract

The first complete chloroplast genome of Oxytropis bicolor Bunge is reported and characterized in this study. The whole chloroplast genome was 122,461 base pairs in length with 110 genes, including 76 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs. In addition, the atpF intron was absent. Maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis indicated that O. bicolor and species of Astragalus were closely related, which is congruent with previous studies.
