Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Eutrema deltoideum (Brassicaceae)

AbstractEutrema deltoideum (Hook. f. et Thoms.) has been recognized as a potentially important vegetable and medicinal resource. In this study, we present the complete chloroplast genome of E. deltoideum and conduct a phylogenetic analysis. The chloroplast genome is 154,051 bp long and consists of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,149 bp, two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,065 bp each, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,772 bp. It contains 132 complete genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes. Additionally, we identified 78 simple sequence repeats (SSRs). The phylogenetic tree reveals that E. deltoideum is closely related to E. heterophyllum, and the Eutrema genus is monophyletic. This study provides valuable information about E. deltoideum and enhances our understanding of its taxonomic classification.
