Abstract

Lagotis brevituba is a famous Tibetan medicine plant and its complete chloroplast genome is determined in this study. The complete chloroplast genome is 152,967 bp in length, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 83,740 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 17,845 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,691 bp. The whole genome contained 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic tree showed that L. brevituba clustered with L. yunnanensis in family Plantaginaceae.

Keywords: Lagotis brevituba; Tibet medicinal plant; chloroplast genome; phylogenomic analysis.
