Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Salvia hispanica (Lamiaceae)

Salvia hispanica is an annual food and oil crop native to Mexico and Guatemala. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast genome (plastome) of S. hispanica. The plastome was 150,980 bp in length and comprises a large single-copy region (82,274 bp), a small single-copy region (17,534 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (25,586 bp). It encodes 114 unique genes, including 80 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 30 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs. The overall GC content of this plastome was 38.0%. Phylogenomic analysis of all PCGs revealed that S. hispanica was closely related to S. bulleyana.
