Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the chloroplast genome of (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) Pruski & Anderb. (Asteraceae).

a valuable medicinal plant of genus in the tribe Inuleae, is predominantly found in China, Bhutan, India, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand, and Vietnam. However, the genomic studies of are limited. In this study, we successfully sequenced and assembled the complete chloroplast genome of . The chloroplast genome is 150,819 bp in length with a 37.73% GC content. The chloroplast genome has a quadripartite structure, consisting of a large single-copy region of 82,731 bp, a small single-copy region of 18,168 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat sequences of 24,960 bp. The genome contains 133 genes. Among these genes, there are 88 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogeny reconstructed from data of the complete chloroplast genome indicated that is closely related to in the tribe Inuleae. Analyzing and reporting the chloroplast genome of will establish a solid theoretical and data foundation for the efficient development, conservation, and utilization of this plant species.
