Sumario:Peganum harmala is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Peganum, Nitrariaceae and is mainly distributed in dry areas in the Mediterranean and many Asia countries. This plant species has high medicinal value and considerable ecological value. This article reports the first chloroplast genome of species in Peganum. The size of the P. harmala chloroplast genome is 160,070 bp, including a large single-copy (LSC) region (88,279 bp), a small single-copy (SSC) region (26,468 bp), and two reverse (IR) regions (18,856 bp). The P. harmala chloroplast genome consists of 132 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The GC content of P. harmala chloroplast genome is 36.44%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that P. harmala and another Nitrariaceaeis species formed a single blade in the phylogenetic tree.
