Abstract:
The complete chloroplast genome of Paeonia anomala subsp. veitchii., an important traditional Chinese herbal medicine, was sequenced and characterized in this study. The genome size is 152 682 bp in length with 38.42% GC content. Two inverted repeats (25 653 bp) are separated by a large single copy (84 398 bp) and a short single copy (16 978 bp). The genome contains 130 individual genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. Twenty-one genes contain one or two introns. Phylogenetic tree analysis of P. anomala subsp. veitchii and other 12 species belonging to Pentapetalae using MEGA6 with the neighbour-joining algorithm revealed that the chloroplast genome was clustered in subfamily Paeoniaceae.
