The first complete chloroplast genome of a traditional Chinese medicinal herb Odontosoria chinensis (Lindsaeaceae)

Abstract

It is the first report on complete chloroplast genome of Odontosoria chinensis, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb. The genome size is 156,293 bp, containing a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) (25,198 bp) separated by a small single-copy (SSC) region (20,649 bp) and a large single-copy (LSC) region (85,248 bp), respectively. The plastome has 128 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 32 tRNA genes, eight rRNA genes, and one pseudogene. The overall GC content is 40.43%. Maximum likelihood tree reveals that O. chinensis is basal lineages of polypods. The study will provide powerful molecular information for further phylogenetic analysis.
