Abstract:
Ranunculus ternatus Thunb. 1784 is a plant with important medicinal values. Here we report its chloroplast genome. This chloroplast genome was 156,003 bp in length with a GC content of 37.86%. It is composed of a large single copy (LSC) of 85,397 bp and a small single copy (SSC) of 19,856 bp, which are separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) of 25,375 bp each. The chloroplast genome contained 110 unique genes, including 77 protein-coding genes, 4 rRNA genes, and 29 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that R. ternatus was closely related to R. cassubicifolius. This chloroplast genome not only enriches the genome information of Ranunculus but also will be useful for the evolution study of the family Ranunculaceae.
