The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the medicinal plant Stephania brachyandra Diels 1910 (Menispermaceae, Ranunculales) and phylogenetic analysis

Abstract

Stephanie brachyandra Diels 1910, a medicinal plant endemic to Vietnam, is threatened by overexploitation due to its high economic value and limited distribution. Here, we report its complete chloroplast genome (157,760 bp), including 130 genes. Phylogenetic analysis shows a close relationship with S. cephalantha, S. yunnanensis, and S. epigaea. This first cp genome offers a key resource for conservation, genetic diversity studies, and evolutionary research.
