Abstract
The annual herb, Datura stramonium, is a member of the Solanaceae family. In this study, we report the chloroplast genomes of two Mexican plants of D. stramonium. Both chloroplast genomes of D. stramonium (GenBank accessions: MT610896 and MT610897) were assembled as a circular molecule. The genome size of both plants was similar (155,884 bp). The overall GC content was 38.59% for both genomes. Both chloroplast genomes contained 85 protein-coding sequences (CDS), 131 genes, 8 rRNA genes, and 38 tRNA genes. Thirty-nine microsatellites (SSRs) and 42 long tandem repeats were also identified for both genomes. The phylogenetic relationship between D. stramonium and related Solanaceae species revealed four main groups; Nicotiana, Datura, Capsicum, and Solanum clades. This species tree is consistent with other Solanaceae species trees already published.
