Abstract:
Isatis cappadocica Desv. is a vigorous perennial rosette plant and it can grow in highly arsenic-contaminated areas. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of I. cappadocica was assembled and annotated. The total length of this genome is 153,800 bp and the GC content is 36.48%. It has a typical four-part structure: a pair of inverted repeat sequences (26,270 bp each), a small single-copy region (17,715 bp), and a large single-copy region (83,545 bp). The annotation results show that it contains 132 genes. The phylogenetic analysis of I. cappadocica and other 18 representative plants indicates that I. cappadocica is closely related to Isatis tinctoria.
