The complete chloroplast genome of Codonopsis convolvulacea subsp. vinciflora

Abstract

Codonopsis convolvulacea subsp. vinciflora is a commonly used and endangered herb in Tibetan medicine. The chloroplast genome was determined to be 187,634 bp in length and contained a large single-copy and a small single-copy region of 102,174 bp and 8552 bp, respectively. The genome is predicted to contain 140 genes, including 90 protein-coding genes, 42 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the genome is 38.72%. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed by 11 chloroplast genomes reveals that Codonopsis convolvulacea subsp. vinciflora is mostly related to C. tsinglingensis with bootstrap support values of 100%.
