Heracleum hemsleyanum Diels is a traditional medicinal herb in China. We reported its first complete chloroplast genome. The chloroplast genome was 146,775 bp in length with 37.53% GC content, containing a large single copy region (LSC, 93,309 bp), a small single copy region (SSC, 17,502 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs, 17,982 bp). Moreover, the chloroplast genome encoded 130 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 36 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and eight ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that H. hemsleyanum was closely related to Heracleum moellendorffii and Heracleum yungningense. This assembled chloroplast genome will provide vital information on the genetic resources, phylogenetic relationships, and the species identification of the genus .
独活是中国一种传统的药用植物。我们报道了其首个完整的叶绿体基因组。该叶绿体基因组长度为146,775 bp,GC含量为37.53%,包含一个大单拷贝区域(LSC,93,309 bp)、一个小单拷贝区域(SSC,17,502 bp)和一对反向重复区域(IRs,17,982 bp)。此外,叶绿体基因组编码130个基因,包括86个蛋白质编码基因(PCGs)、36个转运RNA基因(tRNAs)和8个核糖体RNA基因(rRNAs)。系统发育分析表明,独活与柔毛独活和永宁独活密切相关。这个组装的叶绿体基因组将为该属的遗传资源、系统发育关系和物种鉴定提供重要信息。
