“…The chloroplast genome of T. paniculatum , a typical quadripartite structure, is 156,929 bp in size, including a LSC region of 86,898 bp ranging from trnH-GUG to rps19 (Ribosomal protein S19), a SSC region of 18,529 bp from ndhF (NAD(P)H dehydrogenase) to ycf1 (hypothetical protein 1 gene), a pair of IR regions of 25,751 bp from rps19 to pseudogene ycf1 and ranging from ycf1 to rps19 , respectively ( Figure 1 and Table 1 ). The GC content of cp genome in the cp total, LSC (large single copy), SSC (small single copy), IRA (inverted repeat A region) and IRB (inverted repeat B region) is 36.79%, 34.6%, 30.5%, 42.7% and 42.7%, respectively ( Table 1 ), which is similar to the cp genome of other Caryophyllales [ 23 , 24 ] and the higher GC content in IR regions. A higher AT representation at the third codon position and second codon position was significant, which is one of the common characteristics of the chloroplast genome [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ].…”
