Abstract:
Artemisia schmidtiana Maxim. is a perennial species in the family Asteraceae. We assembled and characterized its complete chloroplast genome using Illumina sequencing data. The A. schmidtiana plastome is 151,032 bp long and has an overall GC content of 37.45%. The plastome contains 111 unique genes, comprising 79 protein-coding genes, 28 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of 71 shared chloroplast protein-coding genes placed A. schmidtiana within the sampled Artemisia taxa and close to A. tournefortiana. This plastome provides a genomic resource for molecular identification, comparative plastome studies, and phylogenetic analyses of Artemisia.
