The complete chloroplast genome of Lepidium latifolium linnaeus and phylogenetic analysis of brassicaceae

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Lepidium latifolium Linnaeus was assembled and characterized in the present study. The plastome is 153,989 bp in length, which is comprised of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,565 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,526 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,449 bp. The overall GC content of the plastome was 36.5%. The new sequence comprised 125 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 33 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that L. latifolium L. was close to Lepidium meyenii and Lepidium virginicum.
