The complete chloroplast genome sequence of stachys sieboldii Miquel. (Labiatae), a kind of vegetable crop and Chinese medicinal material plant

Abstract

Stachys sieboldii Miquel. belongs to the Stachys of the Labiatae family. It is a good vegetable and widely cultivated in China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of the S. sieboldii was sequenced, assembled and annotated, which contains 132 unique genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. A maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree based on 17 complete chloroplast genomes revealed that S. sieboldii is closely related to Stachys genus. These data could be used for variety identification and genetic improvement.
