Abstract:
The complete chloroplast genome (plastome) of the Chenopodium acuminatum was assembled and annotated in this study. The complete plastome was composed of circular DNA molecules with a total length of 152,200 bp, comprising a large single-copy region (83,683 bp), a small single-copy region (18,131 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (25,193 bp). GC content of this complete plastome was 37.2%. In total, 113 unique genes were annotated, including 79 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 30 transfer RNAs, and 4 ribosomal RNAs. Phylogenomic analysis showed that C. acuminatum was closely related to C. album.
