The complete plastome sequence of Pinellia peltata Pei (Araceae)

The complete plastome of Pinellia peltata is reported in this study. The whole plstome contains 164,293 bp, including a large single copy region (90,089 bp) and a small single copy region (24,871 bp), which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat regions (24,881 bp of IRB and 24,982 bp of IRA). Totally, 130 genes were identified, containing 86 coding-protein, 8 rRNA (4 rRNA species), and 36 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on common protein coding genes of 10 Araceae species showed that P. peltata is original than other species in the genus Pinellia. The whole plastome of P. peltata and other species should facilitate further works for the genus Pinellia about genetic diversity, phylogenetic analysis, and so on.
