The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Dracocephalum moldavica L. (Labiatae), an aromatic plant

Dracocephalum moldavica belongs to the genus Dracocephalum of the Labiatae family. It is a good source of essential oils, and is wildly used in folk medicine. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of the D. moldavica was sequenced, assembled, and annotated, which contains 125 unique genes,...

Description
Summary:Dracocephalum moldavica belongs to the genus Dracocephalum of the Labiatae family. It is a good source of essential oils, and is wildly used in folk medicine. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of the D. moldavica was sequenced, assembled, and annotated, which contains 125 unique genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. A maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree based on 13 complete chloroplast genomes revealed that D. moldavica is closely related to D. palmatum. The data could be used for variety identification, species conservation, and cultivation.
