Abstract:
Isodon lophanthoides var. graciliflorus is a folk medicinal herb that is distributed in tropical and subtropical Asia. In this study, the complete plastome of I. lophanthoides var. graciliflorus was assembled and annotated. The plastome is 152,195 bp in length, consisting of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,095 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,699 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,701 bp, each. It has 113 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the plastome is 37.6%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that I. lophanthoides var. graciliflorus was sister to Isodon serra.
