The complete chloroplast genome of Salvia liguliloba Y. Z. Sun (Lamiaceae)

Abstract

Salvia liguliloba Y. Z. Sun is a plant species endemic to the Tianmu Mountains. In this study, we assembled the complete chloroplast genome of S. liguliloba. The chloroplast genome of S. liguliloba was 151,490 bp with quadripartite structure in length, which contained 124 encoded genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. Our phylogenetic analysis result based on 54 chloroplast genomes revealed that S. liguliloba was closely related to S. miltiorrhiza according to the current sampling extent in Lamiaceae.
