Abstract
Plantago media, known as the hoary plantain, is a species of flowering plant in the plantain family Plantaginaceae that also was used as one of the Chinese herb in China. In this study, P. media chloroplast genome sequence was 164,130 base pairs (bp) as a circular that had a typical quadripartite structure. It contained a large single-copy region (LSC) of 82,758 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 4,578 bp, and a pair of inverted-repeat (IR) regions of 38,397 bp. The overall nucleotide composition of chloroplast genome is: A (30.7%), T (31.3%), C (19.2%), G (18.8%), and the total G + C content of 38.0%. The total 140 genes were found in this chloroplast genome sequence that included 94 protein-coding genes (PCG), 38 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosome RNA (rRNA) genes. In phylogenetic analysis, the result showed that P. media is closely related to P. depressa of the family Plantaginaceae using the maximum-likelihood (ML) method in the phylogenetic relationship.
