The complete chloroplast genome of Epimedium pubescens Maxim. (Berberidaceae), a traditional Chinese medicine herb

摘要

Epimedium pubescens Maxim. is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine herb. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of E. pubescens was sequenced. The genome was 158 956?bp in length, with a large single-copy region of 86,345?bp, a small single-copy region of 17,075?bp, and 2 inverted repeat regions of 27,768?bp. The genome consisted of 113 genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The GC contents were 38.82%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that E. pubescens of series Brachyrcerae was firstly clustered with E. acumiantum Franch. of ser. Dolichocerae , but not with E. brevicornu Maxim. from the same series.
