Abstract:
Cnidoscolus aconitifolius is a leafy green heathy vegetable and medicinal plant belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae. In the present study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of C. aconitifolius, which is 158,658 bp in length and consisted of two copies of inverted repeat (IR) of 26,982 bp separated by a large single copy (LSC) of 87,022 bp and a small single copy (SSC) of 17,672 bp. The GC content of C. aconitifolius was 36.3%. A total of 130 genes were predicted, including 86 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNAs and 8 rRNAs. The plastid phylogenomic analysis support C. aconitifolius is closely related to Manihot esculenta.
