Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Bassia scoparia (L.) A. J. Scott 1978 (Amaranthaceae) and its phylogenetic analysis

Figures & data

Figure 1. Species reference image of B. scoparia. The photos were taken by Miss Lin Li at the germplasm resource nursery of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Hubei Province, China, in September 2023.

Figure 2. The map of B. scoparia chloroplast genome by CPGview. The map consists of six tracks. From the center to the outer, the first track shows dispersed repeats connected by red and green arcs indicating the direction (forward and reverse, respectively). The second track shows long tandem repeats as blue bands, and the third track shows short tandem repeats or microsatellites as green bands. The fourth track represents the GC content along the plastome. Finally, the sixth track represents the genes as colored boxes, the inner boxes present clockwise transcription, and the outer boxes present counterclockwise transcribed genes.

Figure 3. Phylogenetic relationships of B. scoparia based on the maximum-likelihood (ML) analysis of protein-coding genes in chloroplast genomes. Bootstrap values next to the nodes are based on 1000 replications. Panax ginseng was set as the outgroup.
