Abstract:
Leucanthemum maximum is a perennial herb widely used in landscaping. Here, we reported the complete plastome of L. maximum. The plastome was 151,865 bp long, containing a large single-copy region of 84,369 bp, a small single-copy region of 18,450 bp, and two inverted repeats of 24,523 bp each. It encoded 112 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding, 4 rRNA, and 29 tRNA genes. The protein sequence of infA was distinctly truncated compared with those from other Anthemideae species. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the species is closely related to the genus Ismelia. This study provided a high-quality reference for future studies.
