The complete chloroplast genome of Rungia pectinata (Acanthaceae)

Rungia pectinata is an important traditional Chinese herbal medicine from the family Acanthaceae. The complete chloroplast genome (cp genome) of the genus Rungia was sequenced for the first time. The cp genome of R. pectinata was 149,627 bp in length. It was consisted of a large single copy (LSC) re...

Sumario:Rungia pectinata is an important traditional Chinese herbal medicine from the family Acanthaceae. The complete chloroplast genome (cp genome) of the genus Rungia was sequenced for the first time. The cp genome of R. pectinata was 149,627 bp in length. It was consisted of a large single copy (LSC) region (81,976 bp) and a small single copy (SSC) region (16,626 bp), which were separated by two inverted repeats (IRs, 25,511 bp). This plastome contained 114 unique genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. The overall GC content was 38.0%. Phylogenetic analysis of nine species in Acanthaceae was also conducted. This newly sequenced cp genome will be useful to further evolutionary studies, phylogenetic studies, and pharmacognostic identification in the genus Rungia.
