Abstract:
Mansoa alliacea (Lam.) A. H. Gentry 1980 is a plant within the family Bignoniaceae, possessing horticultural and medicinal value. Despite its wide range of applications, comprehensive studies on the integrity of its chloroplast genome have been lacking until now. This study presented, for the first time, the sequencing and analysis of the complete chloroplast genome of this plant. The chloroplast genome exhibited a typical quadripartite circular structure, with a length of 163,997 base pairs (bp). It contains 138 genes and has a GC content of 37.65%. Phylogenetic analysis indicates a close relationship between M. alliacea and Anemopaegma species. These findings provide a robust foundation for future research on the evolution and conservation of M. alliacea.
