Abstract:
Geum aleppicum is an important landscaping plant with high medicinal value. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of G. aleppicum was assembled and analyzed. The assembled genome is 156,036 bp in length, which contains a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,358 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,410 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) of 26,134 bp. A total of 137 genes were predicted, including 89 protein-coding genes, 40 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that G. aleppicum had the closest relationship with G. japonicum var. chinense, and all the species of Geum grouped together with highly bootstrap support.
