Complete chloroplast genome of Cardamine hupingshanensis K.M.Liu, L.B.Chen, H.F.Bai & L.H.Liu (Brassicaceae) in Enshi, Hubei

Abstract

Cardamine hupingshanensis K.M.Liu, L.B.Chen, H.F.Bai & L.H.Liu 2008, also called Cardamine enshiensis, belongs to the genus Cardamine, Brassicaceae. As a plant with selenium enrichment ability, it has high development value. Here, we analyzed the chloroplast genome of C. hupingshanensis. The complete chloroplast genome had a total size of 154,832 bp with a typical quadripartite structure, including a large single-copy region (LSC, 83,908 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 17,938 bp), separated by a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs, 26,493 bp). Genome annotation showed the chloroplast genome contained 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. A total of 143 SSRs were found in the chloroplast genome. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. hupingshanensis was closer to the C. circaeoides and C. lyrata. This chloroplast genome resource will be useful for study of the phylogeny and evolution of Cardamine in the future.
