Abstract:
Swertia diluta, a traditional Chinese medicine, is widely used to treat jaundice hepatitis, dysentery, dyspepsia, etc. The plastome is 153,691 bp in length, with one large single copy region of 83,860 bp, one small single copy region of 18,301 bp, and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,765 bp. It contains 134 genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA, and 37 transfer RNA. Phylogenetic tree shows that S. diluta is a sister species to S. mussotii. The complete chloroplast genome could provide genetic information of this species would contribute to the formulation of protection strategy.
