The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides (Apiales: araliaceae)

Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides Lam. is a widespread and important Chinese medicinal plant. In this study, we have sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of H. sibthorpioides, which is 152,880 bp in length with large (LSC 84,064 bp) and small (SSC 18,690 bp) single-copy regions separated by a pair of...

Description
Summary:Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides Lam. is a widespread and important Chinese medicinal plant. In this study, we have sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of H. sibthorpioides, which is 152,880 bp in length with large (LSC 84,064 bp) and small (SSC 18,690 bp) single-copy regions separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs 25,063 bp) and contains 113 unique genes with 17 genes duplicated in the IR making a total of 130 genes. The phylogenetic analysis strongly supports the position of H. sibthorpioides and indicates it belongs to the Araliaceae family, potential to facilitate a better understanding of population and phylogenetic studies in Apiales.
