The complete chloroplast genome of the medicinal plant (Apiaceae) in Peucedani Radix.

(Miquel) Franchet & Savatier (Apiaceae) has been used as a significant medicinal plant in East Asia. We determined its complete chloroplast genome for the first time in this study. The complete chloroplast was circularized and had a typical quadripartite structure genome of 146 719 bp long including the large single copy region (LSC) of 93 256 bp, the small single copy region (SSC) of 17 497 bp and duplicated inverted regions (IRs) of 17 983 bp each. The total GC content was 37.56% and for the four structures it was 35.98% (LSC), 31.06% (SSC), and 44.83% (for each IR). There were a total of 113 genes, comprising four rRNAs, 29 tRNAs and 80 protein coding genes. In the phylogenetic analysis, was grouped with This study may contribute to authenticating the plant's correct use as medicine for health and provide an important genetic resource for phylogeny with related species.
