The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Angelica Tsinlingensis (Apioideae)

Angelica tsinlingensis is endemic in Shaanxi province (China), and is used as Angelica sinensis in folk. Owing to important medicinal value, wild A. sinensis has been over-exploited and become quite rare in China during over 2000 years. Angelica sensu lato (s.l.; Apiaceae subfamily Apioideae) is a taxonomically complex and controversial group, and A. tsinlingensis is clearly different from members of the Angelica s.s. clade with the morphological and molecular results. The complete chloroplast DNA sequence of A. tsinlingensis (GenBank accession number: MF924726) was determined in our study. The size of chloroplast genome of A. tsinlingensis is 147,104 bp, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 93376 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,574 bp separated by a pair of identical inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 18,077 bp each. A total of 125 genes were successfully annotated containing 83 protein-coding genes, 34 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. GC content of IRs region is the highest (44.5%). The result of Phylogenomic analysis supports the difference of A. tsinlingensis from Angelica s.s. clade.
