Abstract

Myripnois dioica (Asteraceae) is a dioecious shrub endemic to North China. In this study, its complete chloroplast genome sequence was assembled and characterized using Illumina paired-end sequencing technology. The whole genome was 153,793 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,049 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,683 bp, and a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,012 bp. The genome encoded 134 genes including 89 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the genome was 37.6%. Phylogenetic analysis based on maximum likelihood method indicated Myripnois dioica was close to the taxa in the genus Ligularia. Our results would benefit the conservation genetics and phylogenetic studies of this endemic species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
