Abstract

Eranthis stellate belong to Ranunculaceae, which is interest in phylogenetic research because it has often been considered one of the most basal eudicots families. However, there are few chloroplastg enome data of Ranunculaceae available. Here, to provide available genomic data for the phylogenetic of Ranunculaceae, we determined the complete chloroplast genome of E. stellate. The complete chloroplast sequence is 158,817 bp, including a large single-copy (LSC) region of 87,137 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 16,834 bp, a pair of invert repeats (IR) regions of 27,424 bp. Plastid genome contain129 genes, 84 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on 14 chloroplast genomes indicates that E. stellata is sister to Aconitum austrokoreense clade in Ranunculaceae.
