Limnophila sessiliflora Blume 1826 is a perennial amphibious herb with ornamental and water purification value that is widespread in temperate and tropical Asia. In the present study, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of L. sessiliflora . It is 152,395 bp in length, with a typical quadripartite structure, comprising a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs; 25,545 bp), a large single-copy region (LSC; 83,163 bp), and a small single-copy (SSC; 18,142 bp) region. The whole cp genome contained 135 genes, including 89 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 38 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis indicated that L. sessiliflora was closely related to the genera Bacopa and Scoparia in the tribe Gratioleae of Plantaginaceae. This cp genome provides a valuable genetic resource for phylogenetic study., Competing Interests: No potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s)., (© 2023 The Author(s).

Colasposoma dauricum Mannerheim, 1849, is an important insect pest distributed in most areas of China. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. dauricum was sequenced and analyzed. The phylogenetic relationships between C. dauricum and other 10 species in the superfamily Chrysomeloidea were reconstructed using maximum likelihood (ML) methods based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences, the phylogenetic analysis showed that C. dauricum is closely related to Basilepta fulvipes in the same subfamily., Competing Interests: No potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s)., (© 2021 The Author(s).

Callitriche palustris L. is an annual aquatic or marsh plant, wide spread in temperate regions throughout the world. In present study, we sequenced, assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of C. palustris . The length of C. palustris complete cp genome was 150,138 bp, with a typical quadripartite structure comprising a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs; 25,667 bp), a large single copy region (LSC; 81,432 bp) and a small single copy region (SSC; 17,372 bp). The whole cp genome contained 134 genes, including 89 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis indicated that C. palustris was a member of Plantaginaceae, but the relationships between subfamilies and tribes need more samplings. This cp genome would provide a valuable genetic resource for C. palustris ' phylogenetic study., Competing Interests: No potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s)., (© 2021 The Author(s).

Lindera praecox is a signature composition in the broadleaved deciduous forest of East China and Japan. Presently, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of this species was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. It is 152,818 bp in length and encodes 85 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated intraspecific varieties within L. praecox species collected in China and Japan. This chloroplast genome sequencing offers genetic background for resources conservation and phylogenetic studies., Competing Interests: No potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s)., (© 2021 The Author(s).

Niphades castanea Chao is an important insect pest on many plants which belong to genus Castanea. The complete mitochondrial genome of N. castanea was sequenced and analyzed. The phylogenetic relationships between N. castanea and other 41 species in the family Curculionidae were reconstructed using maximum likelihood (ML) methods based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences, the phylogenetic analysis showed that N. castanea is closely related to Hylobitelus xiaoi , which is in accordance with the traditional morphological classification., Competing Interests: No potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s)., (© 2020 The Author(s).

Magnolia pilocarpa Z. Z. Zhao et Z. W. Xie is a species with high horticultural and medicinal value, which found only in Dabie Mountain of central China. In this study, we sequenced, assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of M. pilocarpa . The length of M. pilocarpa complete cp genome was 160,104 bp, with a typical quadripartite structure comprising a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs; 26,591 bp), a large single copy region (LSC; 88,110 bp) and a small single copy region (SSC; 18,812 bp). The whole cp genome contained 129 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 30 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and four ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis indicated that M. pilocarpa was relatively closed to the M. denudata .

Melica scabrosa Trin. is an important forage grass of Poaceae, wildly distributed in the Northeast Asia to Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of M. scabrosa was obtained by de novo assembly using whole genome sequence data.
