Abstract:
Leucanthemella linearis is an important marsh plant. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of L. linearis was obtained using next generation sequencing. It was 15,1401 bp in length, including a pair of inverted repeat (IR, 24,941 bp) regions separated by a small single copy (SSC, 18,392 bp) sequence and a large single copy (LSC, 83,127 bp) sequence. The cp genome contained 140 genes, consisting of 96 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes and 36 tRNA genes. Twenty-two genes were present in the IR region. Thirty-four SSR sites were detected in the cp genome. Phylogenetic analysis with the reported chloroplast genomes revealed that L. linearis is most closely related to Tribe Heliantheae species. This new data will help to understand the phylogenetic position and biology of the Leucanthemella.
