Peculiarities of the inverted repeats in the complete chloroplast genome of Strobilanthes bantonensis Lindau
Strobilanthes bantonensis Lindau belongs to the family Acanthaceae. It is an antiviral herb that can be used to prevent Influenza virus infections in the border areas between China and Vietnam. Local people call it ‘Purple Ban-lan-gen’ because its root is very similar to that of Strobilanthes cusia...

description | Strobilanthes bantonensis Lindau belongs to the family Acanthaceae. It is an antiviral herb that can be used to prevent Influenza virus infections in the border areas between China and Vietnam. Local people call it ‘Purple Ban-lan-gen’ because its root is very similar to that of Strobilanthes cusia (Nees) Kuntze, which is called ‘Southern Ban-lan-gen’ and is listed in Chinese Pharmacopeia. The two species have been used interchangeably locally. However, their pharmacological equivalence has caused concern for years. We have sequenced the chloroplast genome of S. cusia previously. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome sequence of S. bantonensis to preform in-depth comparative genetic analysis of the two Strobilanthes species. The chloroplast genome of S. bantonensis is a circular DNA molecule with a total length of 144,591 bp and encodes 84 protein-coding, 8 ribosomes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The chloroplast genome has a conservative quadripartite structure, including a large single-copy (LSC) region, a small single-copy (SSC) region, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions, with lengths of 92,068 bp, 17,767 bp, and 17,378 bp, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that S. bantonensis is closely related to the S. cusia. Compared with other species from Acanthaceae, S. bantonensis has a significantly shortened IR region, suggesting the occurrence of IR contraction events. This study will help future taxonomic, evolutionary, phylogenetic, and bioprospecting studies of the sizeable Strobilanthes genus, which contains over 400 species. |
