Abstract:
In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Melampyrum roseum was determined through Illumina sequencing method. The complete cp genome of M. roseum was 143,896 bp in length and contained a pair of IR regions (25,210 bp) separated by a small single-copy region (10,292 bp) and a large single-copy region (83,184 bp). The cp genome of M. roseum encoded 117 genes including 78 protein-coding genes, 31 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of M. roseum cp genome is 38.1%. By phylogenetic analysis using maximum-likelihood (ML) method, M. roseum was placed in Rhinantheae clade as expected.
