Whole plastid genome of Anemone taipaiensis (Ranunculaceae), an endemic herb plant in China

Abstract

Anemone taipaiensis W. T. Wang is an endemic herb species in Shaanxi province (China). Here, we first characterized its whole plastid genome via pair-end sequencing method. The whole chloroplast genome was 156,659 bp in size, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 78,439 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 16,178 bp, and two repeat regions (IRs) of 31,021 bp. A total of 135 genes, including 91 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes were identified in A. taipaiensis. The phylogenetic analysis showed that A. taipaiensis have a close relationship with congeneric species A. trullifolia.
