The complete chloroplast genome of Melanosciadium pimpinelloideum (Apiaceae), an endemic species of China

Abstract

Melanosciadium pimpinelloideum de Boiss. is an endemic species of China. Here, the complete chloroplast genome of M. pimpinelloideum is determined. The whole genome size is 164,431 bp in length, composed of a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 35,211 bp, a large single-copy region (LSC) of 76,444 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 17,565 bp. The genome contains 136 genes, including 91 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis with the reported chloroplast genomes showed that M. pimpinelloideum and P. rhomboidea var. tenuiloba formed a well-supported clade, which nested in Angelica species. Logically, the result corroborated the previous treatment of P. rhomboidea var. tenuiloba.
