The complete chloroplast genome of Tanacetum coccineum

Abstract

Tanacetum coccineum, a perennial plant of the Tanacetum genus, cultivated as a natural pesticide or ornamental plant widely distributed in many countries. In this research, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of T. coccineum was determined to comprise a 150,143 bp double-stranded circular DNA, including a pair of 24,416 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs), small single copy (SSC) region of 18,389 bp and large single copy (LCS) region of 82,922 bp. An overall GC content was 37.49%, and the corresponding values in IRs, SSC, and LSC regions are 43.16%, 30.88%, and 35.61%, respectively. A total of 129 genes include 84 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA, and eight rRNA. Four rRNA genes and seven tRNA genes were duplicated in IRs. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed by 38 Composite family chloroplast genomes sequence reveals that T. coccineum is mostly related to Ismelia carinata.
