Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Conyza canadensis and its phylogenetic implications

Abstract

The complete chloroplast genome of Conyza canadensis (GenBank accession number: MK737940) was obtained by using Illumina HiSeq X Ten in this study. The circular Conyza canadensis chloroplast genome is 152,721 bp long and comprises of a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,004 bp each, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,280 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,433 bp. The complete chloroplast genome contains 114 unique genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs, and 4rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis of the protein-coding genes revealed that Conyza canadensis was closely related to Conyza bonariensis.
