Abstract:
The complete chloroplast genome of Celosia argentea, an important horticultural and medicinal herb, was identified and sequenced in this study. The genome size is 153,474 bp, the GC content is 36.7%. A total of 123 genes were identified, including 84 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 33 tRNA genes. Twenty-nine plastome accessions from Caryophyllales were selected to assess the phylogenetic placement of genus and the result showed that C. argentea is most closely related to Amaranthus hypochondriacus.
