The complete plastome of Daphne laureola L. (Thymelaeaceae)

The complete plastome sequence for the type species of Daphne, Daphne laureola, was assembled and annotated in this study. The total length of the D. laureola plastome is 171,613 bp and comprises the large single copy (LSC) spanning 85,316 bp, the small single copy (SSC) spanning 2855 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions each of 41,721 bp length. The SSC contains only two genes: ndhF and rpl32. This sequence extends the list of Thymelaeaceae plastomes to be used in future systematic studies of the family and is the first European species to be sampled.
