Characterization of an herbplant chloroplast genome of Sanguisorba officinalis

Abstract

Sanguisorba officinalis is well known for its incredible performance on stopping bleeding in herbal remedies in China. The chloroplast genome sequence of Sanguisorba officinalis was 155,479 bp length as the circular structure and typical quadripartite structure. It contained a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,548 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,769 bp and separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,581 bp. The overall G + C content of the chloroplast genome sequence is 37.2%. This chloroplast genome contained 131genes that included 86 protein-coding (PC) genes, 37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. In IR region, 18 genes was found, contained 7 PCGs species, 7 tRNA genes species and 4 rRNA genes species. In phylogenetic analysis, the result shown that Sanguisorba officinalis was closed relationship with Sanguisorba tenuifolia in the phylogenetic relationship using the Maximum-Likelihood (ML) method.
