We report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of , a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, which produces triterpenoid saponins similar to Panax ginseng. The assembled chloroplast genome (cpDNA) was 157,654 bp in length and structurally divided into four distinct regions, namely, large single copy region (86,794 bp), small single copy region (18,654 bp) and a pair of inverted repeat regions (26,103 bp). A total of 143 genes were annotated, including 87 protein-coding genes, 10 tRNA genes and 46 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the chloroplast genome sequence of is most closely related to Cucumis melo.
我们报道了一种著名的传统中药的完整叶绿体基因组序列，该中药能产生与西洋参类似的三萜皂苷。组装后的叶绿体基因组（cpDNA）长度为157,654 bp，在结构上分为四个不同区域，即大单拷贝区域（86,794 bp）、小单拷贝区域（18,654 bp）和一对反向重复区域（26,103 bp）。总共注释了143个基因，包括87个蛋白质编码基因、10个tRNA基因和46个rRNA基因。系统发育分析表明，该中药的叶绿体基因组序列与甜瓜的关系最为密切。
