The complete chloroplast genome sequences of Hippuris vulgaris (Plantaginaceae).

Two complete chloroplast genomes of Hippuris vulgaris (H. vulgaris_A and H. vulgaris_B), representing two distinct clades in China, were sequenced and assembled in this study. The circular genomes were 152,763 and 152,713 bp in length and exhibit a typical quadripartite structure of the large single-copy (LSC, 82,983/82,949 bp) and small single-copy (SSC, 18,294/18,278 bp) regions, separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, both 25,743 bp). Both two cp genomes identically contain 133 genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis within Plantaginaceae demonstrated Hippuris an independent clade included in the expanded Plantaginaceae. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
