Abstract:
Bupleurum chinense DC. is a traditional medicinal herb species widely distributed in most provinces of China. In this study, we constructed and annotated a complete circular chloroplast (cp) genome of B. chinense. The cp genome of B. chinense is 155,545 bp in length, including two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,305 bp, separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,430 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,505 bp. The GC content of whole cp genome is 37.68%. The genome contains 113 different genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. A maximum-likelihood phylogenomic analysis showed that Bupleurum formed a monophyletic group, and was sister to other groups of Apiaceae.
