The complete chloroplast genome of Salsola sinkiangensis A.J.Li 1978 (Amaranthaceae)

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome of S. sinkiangensis is 152,621 bp in length, comprising LSC (84,011 bp), SSC (18,630 bp), and IR (24,990 bp each) regions. The genome has 36.6% GC content (LSC: 34.6%, SSC: 29.4%, IR: 42.7%) and encodes 133 genes (88 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, eight rRNA). Phylogenetic analysis (ML/BI) indicate S. sinkiangensis is closest to S. collina. This study provides genomic insights and clarifies its phylogenetic position within Amaranthaceae.
