Abstract:
Edgeworthia chrysantha is a subtropical plant with significant medicinal value. Herein, we assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of E. chrysantha as genomic resource for future study. The genome consisted a total length of 172,446 bp, comprising of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,527 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 2871 bp, separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 42,024 bp each; a total of 139 genes were predicted for the chloroplast genome. Phylogenetic analysis showed that E. chrysantha is placed at the base of the Daphne group of tribe Daphneae, within the family Thymelaeaceae.
