The complete chloroplast genome of Gaultheria fragrantissima Wall. (Ericaceae) from Yunnan, China, an aromatic medicinal plant in the wintergreens

Gaultheria fragrantissima (Ericaceae) is an aromatic medicinal plant with high concentrations of the secondarymetabolite methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen). In this study, the complete chloroplast genomeof G. fragrantissima was sequenced. The complete plastome is 176,196 bp in length, and the GC...

description Gaultheria fragrantissima (Ericaceae) is an aromatic medicinal plant with high concentrations of the secondarymetabolite methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen). In this study, the complete chloroplast genomeof G. fragrantissima was sequenced. The complete plastome is 176,196 bp in length, and the GCcontent is 36.6%. The plastome comprises 110 unique genes (76 protein-coding, 30 tRNA and 4 rRNA).Phylogenetic analysis fully supported a sister relationship between G. fragrantissima and G. hookeriwithin the Leucothoides clade of Gaultheria. This chloroplast genome will serve as a valuable referencefor future taxonomic and phylogenetic research.
