Abstract:
Malva pusilla Sm. is a perennial herb used for both medicinal and edible purposes. Here, we sequenced and assembled the complete chloroplast genome (plastome) of M. pusilla. The plastome is 158,345 base pairs (bp) in length, with a GC content of 37.12%, and exhibits a typical quadripartite structure. A total of 129 genes were annotated, including 84 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on complete plastome sequences supported the monophyly of Malva. These data provide a valuable genomic resource for the genus and support future phylogenetic and evolutionary studies.
