Abstract:
The chloroplast genome size of Cardamine leucantha L. is 155,040 bp, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,258 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,936 bp, and two inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,423 bp, with an overall GC content of 36.33%. The chloroplast genome encodes 130 genes, comprising 85 protein-coding genes, eight rRNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis using maximum-likelihood estimation indicates that C. leucantha is closely related to other species within the Cardamineae genus. The data from this study provide genomic resources for phylogenetic genetics and resource development of C. leucantha.
