The complete chloroplast genome of Chinese medicine cultivar species of Rehmannia glutinosa (Orobanchaceae)

摘要

The cultivar of Rehmannia glutinosa (Orobanchaceae) is one of the four famous ‘Huai’ medicine cultivar species endemic to Henan Province in central China. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of R. glutinosa cultivar Wen 85-5. The cp genome of R. glutinosa cultivar Wen 85-5 was 155,499?bp in length and contained a pair of inverted repeat regions (IR, 25,748?bp) separated by a small single copy (SSC, 17,600?bp) and a large single copy (LSC, 84,403?bp) region. Chloroplast genome sequences of two cultivar of R. glutinosa (Wen 85-5 and Jiwang 1) are identical to each other. The sequence of cp genome of R. glutinosa cultivar Wen 85-5 was 99.70% similar to the wild population of R. glutinosa . Some distinctive insert and deletion in R. glutinosa cultivar Wen 85-5 by comparison with wild population were reported. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis revealed that R. glutinosa cultivar Wen 85-5.was sister to the R. glutinosa cultivar Jiwang 1 (BS = 100%), and further clustering with R. glutinosa (BS = 100%). This result will be helpful for the conservation and breeding programs of the cultivar of R. glutinosa .
