Abstract:
Cuminum cyminum (Apiaceae) is an economically important plant, whose fruits are usually used as flavoring, and also have pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, hypolipidemic, and so on. In this study, we assembled and annotated complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of C. cyminum. The results showed that the complete cp genome of C. cyminum was 157,839 bp in length, consisting of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,927bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,598bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) of 28,157bp. In total, 131 genes were annotated, comprising of 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that C. cyminum belongs to the tribe Scandiceae, and showed close relationship with Daucus carota.
