Abstract:
The complete chloroplast genome of Helixanthera parasitica from China was analyzed using next-generation sequencing. The plastome of H. parasitica is a typical quadripartite structure with a length of 125,021 bp, which contained inverted repeats (IR) of 22,752 bp separated by a large single-copy (LSC) and a small single copy (SSC) of 73,151 bp and 6,366 bp, respectively. The cpDNA contains 105 genes, comprising 67 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the plastome is 36.5%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that H. parasitica was closely related to the Tolypanthus maclurei.
