Description
Summary:Senna tora and Senna occidentalis, members of Fabaceae, are medicinally important species for laxatives, diuretics, and anticancer those are native to tropical and subtropical areas and Americas, respectively. In this study, the two complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequences in Senna genus were presented. The complete cp genomes of S. tora and S. occidentalis were 162,426 bp and 159,993 bp in size, respectively. Two cp genomes equally harbored 111 genes, including 77 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on protein-coding genes demonstrated that S. tora is mostly related with S. occidentalis.
