Abstract:
Epimedium davidii, which belongs to Berberidaceae, is mainly distributed in the southwest of China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of E. davidii was sequenced and assembled. The circular genome is 159,715 bp in length, which comprises a large single-copy region (LSC, 85,862 bp), a small single-copy region (SSC, 17,081 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb, 28,386 bp). The chloroplast genome of E. davidii contains 112 unique genes, of which 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that E. davidii was closely related to Epimedium acuminatum.
