The complete chloroplast genome of Desmodium styracifolium
Abstract
The complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) of Desmodium styracifolium, an important medicinal herb for urolithiasis treatment, was sequenced and assembled from the whole genome data. The cpDNA of D. styracifolium is 149,155 bp in length with GC content of 35.2%. The genome has a quadripartite structure that is composed of a large single-copy (LCS, 82,476 bp) and small single-copy (SSC, 18,439 bp) separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb, 24,120 bp each). There are 128 genes in the chloroplast genome, including 83 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes and 37 tRNA genes.
