Abstract:
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Echinocodon lobophyllus was determined by Illumina pair-end sequencing. The results showed that the complete plastid genome was 169,419 bp in length, containing a large single copy (LSC) of 85,599 bp and a small single copy (SSC) of 8054 bp, which were separated by a pair of 37,883 bp inverted repeats (IRs). A total of 109 unique genes were annotated, including 75 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Among these genes, 16 genes contained one or two introns. The overall GC contents of the plastid genome were 38.4%. A maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed that E. lobophyllus and Codonopsis minima formed one clade at the base of the phylogenetic tree of Campanulaceae with a high support value.
