Abstract:
Potentilla glabra Lodd is an important traditional Chinese medicine, which is widely distributed in many areas of China. It has a variety of pharmacological activities and has been drunk as a tea for a long time. Therefore, it has great economic, research, and social value. However, no plastid genome has been reported to date. Here, we report species of this genus complete chloroplast genome of Potentilla glabra Lodd. The chloroplast genome of Potentilla glabra Lodd is found to be 152,900 bp in length with 37.24% GC contents. The cp genome sequences contained 130 genes, including 84 mRNA genes, 37 tRNA, eight rRNA genes, and one pseudogenes, respectively. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed by 42 chloroplast genomes reveals that Potentilla glabra Lodd is most related with Potentilla parvifolia. The complete chloroplast genome of these plants will be benefit for studies on the general characteristics and evolution of the Potentilla family genome.

Two models describe the mechanism of precursor recognition and entry across the outer membrane through the TOC complex. Model 1 suggests the newly synthesized precursor binds to the TOC receptor 159 and forms a complex.
