Abstract

Aster sampsonii (Hance) Hemsl is endemic to China. The complete chloroplast genome of Aster sampsonii was studied here. The genome was 152,686 base pair (bp) in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,345 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,249 bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,046 bp. It contains 132 unique genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The GC content of the complete chloroplast genome sequence was 37.3%. Phylogenetic analyses using complete chloroplast genomes showed that Aster sampsonii is most closely related to Aster hypoleucus (NC_046503.1).

Keywords: Aster sampsonii (Hance) Hemsl; Chloroplast genome; phylogenetic analyses.
