Abstract

The complete plastid genome of Chrysanthemum morifolium 'Orizaba', a cultivar from Holland, was determined and analyzed in this work. It is a circular chromosome and has a length of 151,060 bp. The LSC and SSC of 82,858 bp and 18,294 bp were separated by two IRs of 24,954 bp. The chloroplast genome of C. morifolium 'Orizaba' contains 125 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 34 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. morifolium 'Orizaba' clustered together with other Chrysanthemum varieties in the family Asteraceae. The plastome is useful for the elucidation of phylogenetics and evolution in the Asteraceae and Chrysanthemum varieties.

Keywords: Chrysanthemum; Orizaba; chloroplast genomes; phylogenetic analysis.
