The complete chloroplast genome of (Cichorioideae), a traditional Chinese medicinal plant.

, Diels 1921 is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant of Cichorioideae, which contains many chemicals, such as friedelin, -sitosterol, stigmasterol, chlorogenic acid, and flavonoids, and so on, which has the characteristics of high medicinal value and small side effect. was used as folk medicines for anti-bacterial, and anti-oxidation, which also had a potential curative effect in preventing cardiovascular disease and anti-tumor. Illumina paired-end reads data were used to assemble the complete chloroplast (cp) genome. 14,425,796 raw paired-end reads and the length distribution in 124,685 bp, including a large single copy (LSC) region of 82,924 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,150 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat (IRs) regions of 25,128 bp. Besides, 10 protein-coding genes (PCGs) genes and 6 tRNAs genes possess a single intron, while and have a couple of introns. Based on the concatenated coding sequences of cp PCGs, the phylogenetic analysis showed that and (MH746729) are closely related to each other within the family Cichorioideae.
