Abstract:
Erysimum cheiranthoides is commonly known as treacle-mustard or wormseed wallflower with value for reducing high temperature and inducing diuresis. Here, we characterized the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of E. cheiranthoides using genome skimming sequencing. The circular complete cp genome is 154,611 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,809 bp, two copies of IR (26,475 bp each) regions, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,852 bp. It comprises 113 unique genes, including 79 different protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes with 19 duplicated genes in the IR regions. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that E. cheiranthoides is sister to Olimarabidopsis pumila with full support value in Brassicaceae.
