| Summary: | Atriplex centralasiatica, an annual halophytic herb, is one of the most important Chinese herbal medicines, forages and indicator plants for saline-alkali soil. In this study, we report the complete plastome of A. centralasiatica. The plastome was 152,237 bp in length and comprises a large single-copy region (83,721 bp), a small single-copy region (18,096 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (25,210 bp). It encodes 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 30 tRNAs and 4 rRNAs. The overall GC content of this plastome was 37.3%. Phylogenomic analysis based on 21 plastomes revealed that A. centralasiatica was closely related to the genus Chenopodium. |
