The complete chloroplast genome of Epilobium hirsutum L. (Onagraceae)

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Epilobium hirsutum L. is presented here. It is 161,111 bp in length and divides into four distinct regions: a small single-copy region (SSC) of 17,310 bp, a large single-copy region (LSC) of 89,117 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 27,342 bp. The chloroplast genome of E. hirsutum includes a total of 125 genes, consisting of 31 tRNA genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 86 protein-coding genes. A phylogenetic tree was generated to evaluate the evolutionary relationship between E. hirsutum and relevant species. The chloroplast genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis offer genetic background for conservation and phylogenetic studied of this species.
