Complete plastome sequence of Tetrataenium Candicans (tribe Tordylieae, Apiaceae): a medicinal plant

Abstract

Tetrataenium candicans is a Himalayan native medicinal plant species. In this study, we report and characterize the complete plastid genome sequence of T. candicans in order to provide genomic resources helpful for promoting its systematics research and conservation. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome is a circular structure and 147,335 bp in length, composing of one large single-copy (LSC) region of 92,996 bp, one small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,473 bp, and separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 18,433 bp each. It encodes 129 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The GC content is 37.5%. Phylogenetic analysis of 31 representative plastomes indicated that the T. candicans was close to Semenovia gyirongensis .
