Abstract:
Thermopsis turkestanica Gand. is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Thermopsis, Leguminosae, and is mainly distributed in dry areas. Most of the species in this genus have high medicinal value. The complete chloroplast genome was reported in this study. The chloroplast genome with a total size of 149,551 bp consists of two inverted repeats (IRs, 24,159 bp) separated by a large single-copy region (LSC, 83,692 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 17,541 bp). Further annotation revealed the chloroplast genome contains 110 genes, including 77 protein coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. This information will be useful for study on the evolution and genetic diversity of Thermopsis turkestanica in the future.
