Abstract:
Epimedium flavum Stearn, which belongs to Berberidaceae, is mainly distributed in the Sichuan province of China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of E. flavum was reported for the first time. The whole genome of E. flavum was 159,134 bp in length, and revealed a typical quadripartite structure, including two copies of an inverted repeat (IR) region of 27,735 bp separating a large single-copy region (LSC, 86,576 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 17, 088 bp). The chloroplast genome contained 112 unique genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that E. flavum of series Davidianae was firstly clustered with E. brevicornu of ser. Brachyerae.
