Abstract:
Apocynum venetum (A. venetum) has high medicinal value that belongs to the family Apocynaceae. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of A. venetum, which was 150,858 bp in length. The cp genome was characterized by a typical quadripartite structure composed of a large single-copy region (LSC 81,919 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC 17,257 bp) interspersed by a pair of 25,841 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs), and it contained 86 protein-coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs. A maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree indicated that A. venetum was closely related to Trachelospermum jasminoides.
