The complete chloroplast genome of (amaranthaceae), an annual desert plant in China.

(Pall.) Akhani & Roalson 2007, is an annual plant belonging to the genus , family Amaranthaceae, which is widely distributed in the inland deserts of Northwest China. was previously categorized under the genus in Salsoleae and has been a long-standing topic of debate. Therefore, the complete chloroplast genome of must be studied to provide a theoretical reference for species classification. In this study, we sequenced samples and determined the species' complete chloroplast genome. The complete chloroplast genome was 149,922 bp in length, with one large single copy (LSC: 83,565 bp), one small single copy (SSC: 18,535 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb, 23,911 bp each). It contains 132 genes, including 87 protein-coding, eight rRNA, and 37 tRNA genes. The phylogenetic position showed that has the closest relationship with (accession number: NC057191.1). This study will provide genetic information and be beneficial to understanding the systematic position of within the Amaranthaceae.
