The complete chloroplast genome of an endangered species in Korea, Halenia corniculata (L.) Cornaz (Gentianaceae)

摘要

Halenia corniculata , characterized by having yellow corollas with spurs at the base within Halenia , is an endangered species in Korea, which represents the southern limit of the distribution range of the species. We present the complete chloroplast genome of H. corniculata . Its length is 153,198?bp and it has four subregions; 83,252?bp of large-single-copy and 18,372?bp of small-single-copy regions are separated by 25,787?bp of inverted repeat, including 130 genes (85 protein-coding genes, 8 rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs). Phylogenetic trees show that H. corniculata is a sister to S. bimaculata , nested within Swertia , consistent with previous phylogenetic studies.
