Abstract

Agrimonia pilosa var. nepalensis (D. Don) Nakai is an herbaceous species of Rosaceae distributed in China. It has ornamental and ecological values. Lack of genetic background seriously hinders its further research and utilization. To provide genetic information for further study of it, complete chloroplast (cp) genome was characterized in this study. The genome is a circular molecule of 155,147 bp in length with overall GC content of 36.9%, which contains 85 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. It contains a typical tetrad structure, including a large single copy, a small single copy, and two inverted repeat regions. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. pilosa var. nepalensis and A. pilosa are closely related. Result of this study could provide genetic information for further research of A. pilosa var. nepalensis.
