The complete chloroplast genome of Plantago fengdouensis (Plantaginaceae): an endemic and Endangered species from China

Abstract

This study was the first report about the complete chloroplast genome of Plantago fengdouensis (Plantaginaceae). The circular whole cp genome of P. fengdouensis was in a total length 164,976 bp with the typical quadripartite structure of angiosperms, containing two inverted repeats (IRs) of 38,644 bp separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 82,972 and 4716 bp, respectively. The plastid genome of P. fengdouensis contains 113 genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of P. fengdouensis plastid genome is 38.0% and the corresponding values in LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 36.6, 30.2, and39.9%, respectively.
