Abstract

Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome of Scoparia dulcis L. The genome is 153,701 bp in size. Two inverted repeats (IRs) with a total of 50,546 bp were identified. The rest of the sequence was separated into two single-copy regions, including a large single-copy (LSC) region (85,029 bp) and a small single-copy (SSC) region (18,126 bp), respectively. The genome of S. dulcis comprised of 129 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 36 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that S. dulcis was strongly allied with Bacopa monnieri.

Keywords: Complete chloroplast genome; Scoparia dulcis; illumina sequencing; phylogenetic analysis.
