Abstract
In this study, the chloroplast genome of Aster subulatus Michx, an important Chinese herb medical plant, has been presented using BGISEQ-500 sequencing. The chloroplast genome is 153,318 bp in size and is constituted of a pair of inverted repeat regions of 24,927 bp, a small single-copy region of 18,226 bp, and a large single-copy region of 85,238 bp. Totally, 102 unique genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 20 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs, were identified and annotated in the chloroplast genome. Phylogenetic maximum likelihood analysis indicated that A. subulatus Michx is closest to A. hersileoides.
